Description of problem
Trying to make use of vhost-user-fs-pci with sev-snp-guest enabled doesn't work.
The system reports that vhost-user-fs-pci doesn't support IOMMU but as far as I understand
we need IOMMU for the virtio protocol to fully function.
Steps to reproduce
- Ensure you are running on a system with AMD SNP support:
sudo dmesg | grep -i sev
[ 0.000000] SEV-SNP: RMP table physical range [0x000000bfbd000000 - 0x000000c07d8fffff]
[ 0.003807] SEV-SNP: Reserving start/end of RMP table on a 2MB boundary [0x000000c07d800000]
[ 8.085220] ccp 0000:06:00.5: sev enabled
[ 16.226155] ccp 0000:06:00.5: SEV API:1.55 build:28
[ 16.226162] ccp 0000:06:00.5: SEV-SNP API:1.55 build:28
[ 16.239284] kvm_amd: SEV enabled (ASIDs 15 - 1006)
[ 16.239289] kvm_amd: SEV-ES enabled (ASIDs 1 - 14)
[ 16.239292] kvm_amd: SEV-SNP enabled (ASIDs 1 - 14)- Use an OVMF which supports AMD SNP: https://github.com/tianocore/edk2.git branch: edk2-stable202502
- Launch the virtiofs daemon process.
- Launch qemu with device
vhost-user-fs-pci - The qemu process will terminate with the following error message:
qemu-system-x86_64: -device vhost-user-fs-pci,chardev=fs0,tag=cfg: iommu_platform=true is not supported by the deviceAdditional information
It does launch if I disable any AMD SEV-SNP functionality from the VM:
