Hi Lasse,

Hate to punt you but the right way to try to get resolution for this is going 
to be through the official Dell support.  Aside, there are probably several 
avenues to resolution.  Mellanox may be able to offer some change that will let 
this work on C6145.

however it seems like it didn't make it)

Hi all,

I am trying to enable Virtual Functions on the a ConnectX-3 VPI IB card via 
SR-IOV which I can't seem to get to work. After rebooting with SR-IOV/IOMMU 
options enabled mlx4_core fails to load just after the following in dmesg:

[   51.887808] AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT device=41:00.1 domain=0x0000 
address=0x00000037f7beb000 flags=0x0050]
[   51.947372] AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT device=41:00.1 domain=0x0000 
address=0x00000037f7beb080 flags=0x0050]
[   52.007661] AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT device=41:00.1 domain=0x0000 
address=0x00000037f7beb0c0 flags=0x0050]
[   52.069120] AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT device=41:00.1 domain=0x0000 
address=0x00000037f7beb040 flags=0x0050]

(4 VFs configured, device=41:00.0 is the device I'm targeting and 
device=41:00.1 being the first VF)

I have contacted Mellanox support but they reckon it's a platform issue. Both 
the sled and card have latest firmware, running Ubuntu Trusty and I have tried 
multiple kernel and OFED configurations to no avail. Running through similar 
steps on a Dell R630 (Intel) seem to work fine.

Also here in some more detail: https://community.mellanox.com/thread/3298

Any suggestions and pointers are welcome.

Cheers,
Lasse
