Hi,


I have assigned Intel QAT device to VMs as a full device (PF - physical
function, PCI passthrough). Below is the output of lspci in host (Cent OS
7.2).

In VM,  the Intel QAT device shows up in lspci as "Intel Corporation Coleto
Creek PCIe Endpoint".


[root at test1 QAT]# lspci -nn | grep 0435

00:05.0 Co-processor [0b40]: Intel Corporation Coleto Creek PCIe Endpoint
[8086:0435]

[root at test1 QAT]#


Afterward I installed Intel® QuickAssist Technology Software i.e.,
qatmux.l.2.6.0-60.tgz ( downloaded at
https://01.org/packet-processing/intel%C2%AE-quickassist-technology-drivers-and-patches)
on the Guest VM . Here are the details of VM.

1)      Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug).

2)      Linux Kernel version: 3.12.9-301.fc20.x86_64.

3)      BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.12.9-301.fc20.x86_64
root=UUID=ab47cbc9-68ee-403c-96a5-184e68238e65 ro console=ttyS0,115200n8
intel_iommu=off



*Notes: *

1)      We are not using SR-IOV and are instead passing through a PF for
acceleration services on  guest only. Hence we have not installed the
Intel® QuickAssist Technology Software package on the host.

2)      Found an Intel QAT driver with this kernel . Upon doing #lsmod |
grep qa, showed icp_qa_al_vf. Thus did rmmod icp_qa_al_vf and service
qat_service shutdown. This was done before building Intel QuickAssist
Technology Software package.



For passthrough of PF, opted the below Install Acceleration option

a)      export ICP_SRIOV=0

b)      export ICP_WITHOUT_IOMMU=1

c)      ./installer.sh build_accel QAT1.6

d)      ./installer.sh install QAT1.6 guest

e)      insmod /root/QAT /QAT1.6/build/icp_qa_al.ko



When I issue the below command to start the acceleration software, it fails
to start the driver.


[root at test1 ~]# service qat_service start

Processing file: /etc/dh895xcc_qa_dev0.conf

ADF_CONFIG_CTL err: adf_set_bank_core_affinity: Invalid core affinity
settings for accelerator 0 bank 8. Max cpu number is 3. Defaulting to 0

ADF_CONFIG_CTL err: adf_set_bank_core_affinity: Invalid core affinity
settings for accelerator 0 bank 9. Max cpu number is 3. Defaulting to 0

Parity err reporting is disabled.

Error: failed to start device 0

There is 1 acceleration device(s) in the system:

 icp_dev0 - type=dh895xcc, inst_id=0, node_id=0,  bdf=00:05:0, #accel=6,
#engines=12, state=down
