qzip version: QATzip-QATzip_1.1.2_release card info: Intel Corporation C62x Chipset QuickAssist Technology driver info:QAT.L.4.25.0-00001 cpu：Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650 v3 @ 2.30GHz

hi. I want to use the qzip hardware acceleration, after i install the driver, exec qzip and i get the error: # qzip -O 7z CentOS-8-x86_64-1905-dvd1.iso -o result.7z Error no hardware, switch to SW if permitted

driver install: # export ICP_ROOT=/home/hcitos/qat_driver; ./configure --enable-icp-sriov=host ;make -j install

qzip install # ./configure --with-ICP_ROOT=$ICP_ROOT ;make clean ; make ;make install

the dmesg get ther error: # dmesg -T | grep PF [Mon Jul 29 15:08:34 2024] c6xx 0000:0c:00.0: Cannot use PF with IOMMU enabled

after i disable iommu of host, and qzip can work well with using hardware acceleration. But i need to keep iommu on, Is there any other way to use hardware acceleration and not disable iommu .

hello，yangni, it seems you are using the OOT driver of QAT, it require the IOMMU disable. you could use the intree driver(qatlib) to solve this issue, QAT intree driver could use the VF of QAT HW. please refer to document
