Subject: qemu-kvm: require 4K aligned resource size for memory
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2009 19:15:09 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091020171508.GD13378@redhat.com> (raw)
KVM does not virtualize low address bits for memory accesses, so we must
require that PCI BAR size is a multiple of 4K for passthrough to work
(this also guarantees that address is 4K aligned).
Users of recent linux kernels can force resource size up to 4K
using:
commit 32a9a682bef2f6fce7026bd94d1ce20028b0e52d
Author: Yuji Shimada <shimada-yxb@necst.nec.co.jp>

PCI: allow assignment of memory resources with a specified alignment
