Besides, I've checked that patch but it can't address our issue, we actually
have this legacy pci device on arm platform, and the memory layout is
unfriendly since allocation rarely providing page-address below 44bit, we
understand the virtio-iommu case should not do force dma, while we don't
have that so it's just working fine.

Hmm wait a sec is it a physical device or a hypervisor?
If a physical one then doesn't it need VIRTIO_F_ORDER_PLATFORM
on ARM?

The PCI device is virtual, I can't see how VIRTIO_F_ORDER_PLATFORM help
address this issue, legacy pci config is 32bit but it's 36, seems like will
never be included?

Oh, if the device is virtual then I think you should just update it please.
virtio 0.X is architecturally limited to small VMs,
if your hypervisor supports more it should emulate virtio 1.0.

I see, nice to confirm the proper approach, although we don't have that option on the desk :-P

So as long as we don't have any iommu enabled, the force dma approach could be safe, is this correct?

Michael Wang
