Hi All,

I am using iommu to receive packets both from hypervisor and from VM. KVM
is used for the virtualization. However, after I deliver the kernel options
(iommu and pci realloc), I can not receive packets in hypervisor, but VF
works fine in VM. When I tried to receive packets in hypervisor, dmesg
shows the following:

ixgbe 0000:03:00.1: complete
ixgbe 0000:03:00.1: PCI INT A disabled
igb_uio 0000:03:00.1: PCI INT A -> GSI 38 (level, low) -> IRQ 38

        Kernel driver in use: igb_uio

We can see those addresses are not matched. So the kernel got fault. I am
wondering why this happens?

One suspicion for this is BIOS. I am currently using BIOS version 3.0, but
the latest is 6.3.0. Does this affect the matter?

Any help appreciated!
