Maybe, can we revisit the original requirement on why we need disable BME at ExitBootService for OVMF?
I recall we have lots of discussion at September. It is good to refresh. ============================== [edk2] [PATCH 0/4] MdeModulePkg: some PCI HC drivers: unmap common buffers at ExitBootServices() https://lists.01.org/pipermail/edk2-devel/2017-September/014099.html At ExitBootServices(), PCI and VirtIo drivers should only care about aborting pending DMA on the devices. Cleaning up PciIo mappings (which ultimately boil down to IOMMU mappings) for those aborted DMA operations should be the job of the IOMMU driver. ============================== I think the Driver Writer's Guide recommend to stop the transaction. But it does not say you must turn off BME. Clear BME is just one way to meet the recommendation. Maybe we can figure out other way to halt the controller, or stop DMA transaction? Such as stop timer event, set device reset/halt register, etc. I think USB has already done that. On the other hand, I do not think "OVMF does not support S4" is a good justification to add PCD. Yes, it does not support at this moment. But who knows the status after 3 or 5 years? I also heard some VMM do support S4 resume Guest. I also recommend to rollback all BME operation at EBS as first step, then go back to see what is best way to resolve DMA operation concern without breaking the OS, and meet DWG requirement at same time.
