[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 10/16] Added support for selecting VFIO interrupt type from EAL command-line

Mon May 19 17:51:43 CEST 2014


Unlike igb_uio, VFIO interrupt type is not set by kernel module
parameters but is set up via ioctl() calls at runtime. This warrants
a new EAL command-line parameter. It will have no effect if VFIO is
not compiled, but will set VFIO interrupt type to either "legacy" or
"msix" if VFIO support is compiled. Note that VFIO initialization will
fail if the interrupt type selected is not supported by the system.
