RE: [PATCH] Whitelist AMD host bridge device(s) to enable P2P DMA

[Errabolu, Ramesh]

I will investigate it further. I am using DKMS-5.11 branch. The codebase I am using to build has the right definition i.e. allow P2PDMA for Zen CPU's.

Regards,
Ramesh

We don't need to keep adding AMD root complexes.  You must be using an older kernel or something.  All root complexes on all Zen platforms support P2P DMA.  See:

    PCI/P2PDMA: Allow P2PDMA on AMD Zen and newer CPUs

    Allow P2PDMA if the CPU vendor is AMD and family is 0x17 (Zen) or greater.
