Abstract
Probation of direct memory access (DMA) device used for direct device assignment. A virtualization computer system identifies a peripheral device as being removed from a direct assignment to a first operating context of a virtualization environment. The peripheral device is DMA capable. The virtualization computer system assigns the peripheral device to a second operating context of the virtualization environment and initiates a device validation against the peripheral device. Based on the device validation indicating that the peripheral device is normal, the virtualization computer system reassigns the peripheral device to a third operating context of the virtualization environment. Based on the device validation indicating that the peripheral device is abnormal, the virtualization computer system excludes the peripheral device from assignment to a third operating context of the virtualization environment.
