hi, All

we have finished testing of Accel-config in ubuntu 22.04.3. We came across some issues and spent additional effort on that. After our DSA expert analysis, share with Canonical.

Test Summary
a. accel-config packages are fine. whatever for 3.5.2 or 4.0.2
b. testing for DSA: PASS
c. testing for accel-config: Skipped (kernel doesn't support)

Details:

Ubuntu 23.04: 
accel-config - 3.5.2
kernel-6.2
accel-config passed (not reasonable, suggest to skip)
DSA - passed

Ubuntu 22.04.3
accel-config-4.0.2
kernel-6.2
accel- config test skipped
DSA - passed

Kernel command line enabling: adding option ‘intel_iommu=on,sm_on’ to enable CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU_SCALABLE_MODE_DEFAULT_ON and CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU_DEFAULT_ON

Root cause the accel-config testing skip result of Ubuntu 22.04.3, about commits, put more below.
1. 6.2 kernel has one commit which disable PASID, so accel-config test should be skipped
commit 942fd5435dccb273f90176b046ae6bbba60cfbd8
iommu: Remove SVM_FLAG_SUPERVISOR_MODE support
2. accel-config user space commit(4.0 version) change the PASID testing to 0, which cause accel-config skipped.

that is why 3.5.0 accel-config passed(not reasonable), and 4.0.2 skipped.

Therefore, suggestion from Intel:
skip accel-config testing before PASID is enabled whatever for Ubuntu 22.04.3 or Ubuntu 23.04
DSA testing - currently all passed

Here are the testing results for Ubuntu 23.04 and Ubuntu 22.04.3

    accel-config: Fix bug in return value of pasid enabled check

    API to check whether pasid is enabled was returning a character string
    that was read from sysfs. The expected return value is boolean. Store
    the pasid_enabled attribute as integer and return it.
