Hi,

If we assign a device to HVM guest,
HVM guest can do directry DMA transfer.
But how about accessing pci configuration register
of the pass through device? Do we still access
pci configuration register through qemu?


Yes, you should have a look at the function pt_pci_read_config in
ioemu/hw/pass-through.c.

Thanks.
HVM guest use PCI BIOS of rombios at access pci configuration register,
and the accesses are trapped by qemu. qemu do their access instead, right?

Can we directly use MMCONFIG for PCI-Express card pass-throughed by VT-d on HVM?
