Hi, Michael

Thanks for the comment, unfortunately modify device is not an option for us
:-(

Is there any idea on how to solve this issue properly?

Regards,
Michael Wang

By the way, there is a bug in the error message. Want to fix that?

Could you please provide more detail about the bug? We'd like to help fixing
it :-)

virtio-pci 0000:14:00.0: platform bug: legacy virtio-mmio must ...

should be virtio-pci not virtio-mmio

Patch on the way~




Besides, I've checked that patch but it can't address our issue, we actually
have this legacy pci device on arm platform, and the memory layout is
unfriendly since allocation rarely providing page-address below 44bit, we
understand the virtio-iommu case should not do force dma, while we don't
have that so it's just working fine.

Michael Wang

Hmm wait a sec is it a physical device or a hypervisor?
If a physical one then doesn't it need VIRTIO_F_ORDER_PLATFORM
on ARM?

The PCI device is virtual, I can't see how VIRTIO_F_ORDER_PLATFORM help address this issue, legacy pci config is 32bit but it's 36, seems like will never be included?

Regards,
Michael Wang
