RMRR - Reserved memory Region Reporting Structure ZLR - Zero length reads from PCI devices IOVA - IO Virtual address. Basic stuff ----------- ACPI enumerates and lists the different DMA engines in the platform, and device scope relationships between PCI devices and which DMA engine controls them. What is RMRR? ------------- There are some devices the BIOS controls, for e.g USB devices to perform PS2 emulation. The regions of memory used for these devices are marked reserved in the e820 map. When we turn on DMA translation, DMA to those regions will fail. Hence BIOS uses RMRR to specify these regions along with devices that need to access these regions. OS is expected to setup unity mappings for these regions for these devices to access these regions. How is IOVA generated? --------------------- Well behaved drivers call pci_map_*() calls before sending command to device that needs to perform DMA. Once DMA is completed and mapping is no longer required, device performs a pci_unmap_*() calls to unmap the region. The Intel IOMMU driver allocates a virtual address per domain. Each PCIE device has its own domain (hence protection). Devices under p2p bridges share the virtual address with all devices under the p2p bridge due to transaction id aliasing for p2p bridges. IOVA generation is pretty generic. We used the same technique as vmalloc() but these are not global address spaces, but separate for each domain. Different DMA engines may support different number of domains. |

any overflow that might happen. Graphics Problems? ------------------ If you encounter issues with graphics devices, you can try adding option intel_iommu=igfx_off to turn off the integrated graphics engine. |

Some exceptions to IOVA ----------------------- Interrupt ranges are not address translated, (0xfee00000 - 0xfeefffff). The same is true for peer to peer transactions. Hence we reserve the address from PCI MMIO ranges so they are not allocated for IOVA addresses. |

Fault reporting --------------- When errors are reported, the DMA engine signals via an interrupt. The fault reason and device that caused it with fault reason is printed on console. See below for sample. |

TBD ---- - For compatibility testing, could use unity map domain for all devices, just provide a 1-1 for all useful memory under a single domain for all devices. |
