Hi,
Patch series to allow access to virtio using vfio interface.
Tested for vfio-noiommu mode for x86_64/arm64{thunderX} platform.
patch series builds successfully for armv7/v8/x86_64/i686.
Note: Rebased on David(s) recent patch series titled "rework virtio for ioport".
Step to enable vfio-noiommu mode:
- modprobe vfio-pci
echo 1 > /sys/module/vfio/parameters/enable_unsafe_*
- then bind
./tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py -b vfio-pci 0000:00:03.0
- Testpmd application to try out for:
./app/testpmd -c 0x3 -n 4 -- -i --portmask=0x0 --nb-cores=1 --port-topology=chained
On host side ping to tapX interface and observe pkt_cnt on guest side.
v6-->v7:
- added support for vfio map/umap/rd/wr method for linuxapp.
- Tested for x86 / arm64{thunderX} vfio mode both.
v5-->v6:
- Removed KDRV_NOIOMMU mode
- patchseries aligned in topic-wise ordered way
- Introduced virtio_io.h; has in/out api, and header file sys/io.h
- Renamed virtio_vfio_rw.h to virtio_vfio_io.h, renamed ioport_in/out{b,w,l} to
vfio_in/out{b,w,l}
v4 --> v5:
- Introducing RTE_KDRV_VFIO_NOIOMMU driver mode
- Incorporated v4 review comments, Pl. refer each patchset for review change.
For older version(v4.. v1) patch history, refer [2].
Thanks.
