+linux kernel iommu attribute read error
+---------------------------------------
+
+**Description**:
+   Read immu attributes from /sys/devices/virtual/iommu/dmarXXX/intel-iommu/cap in linux kernel
+   4.10.0 error. That because the link between the iommu sysfs-device and the struct intel_iommu
+   is no longer stored as driver-data.
+
+**Implication**:
+   When insmod ``vfio-pci`` and running testpmd APP, it doesn't initiate properly.
+
+**Resolution/Workaround**:
+   Use other linux kernel version. It only happens in linux kernel 4.10.0.
+
+**Affected Environment/Platform**:
+   ALL OS of linux kernel 4.10.0.
+
+**Driver/Module**:
+   ``vfio-pci`` module.
