> Fix kernel crash with KNI because KNI requires physical addresses.
The actual fix would be to make KNI IOMMU aware based on the DPDK mode.
ie. On slow path,
/* Get iommu domain for iova to physical addr conversion */
if (rte_eal_iova_mode() == RTE_IOVA_VA)
kni->iommu_domain = iommu_get_domain_for_dev(dev);
else
kni->iommu_domain = NULL;
On fast path,
static inline u64 kni_iova_to_phys(struct ... *kni, dma_addr_t dma_addr)
{
/* Translation is installed only when IOMMU is present */
if (kni->iommu_domain)
return iommu_iova_to_phys(kni->iommu_domain, dma_addr);
return dma_addr;
}

Defeat the purpose of all dynamic probing scheme.
Either we can fix the KNI or revert the following patch for this release.
