1. Overview
|
|
|
|
1.1 What is SR-IOV
|
|
|
|
Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) is a PCI Express Extended
|
|
capability which makes one physical device appear as multiple virtual
|
|
devices. The physical device is referred to as Physical Function (PF)
|
|
while the virtual devices are referred to as Virtual Functions (VF).
|
|
Allocation of the VF can be dynamically controlled by the PF via
|
|
registers encapsulated in the capability. By default, this feature is
|
|
not enabled and the PF behaves as traditional PCIe device. Once it's
|
|
turned on, each VF's PCI configuration space can be accessed by its own
|
|
Bus, Device and Function Number (Routing ID). And each VF also has PCI
|
|
Memory Space, which is used to map its register set. VF device driver
|
|
operates on the register set so it can be functional and appear as a
|
|
real existing PCI device.
|
|
|
|
2. User Guide
|
|
|
|
2.1 How can I enable SR-IOV capability
|
|
|
|
The device driver (PF driver) will control the enabling and disabling
|
|
of the capability via API provided by SR-IOV core. If the hardware
|
|
has SR-IOV capability, loading its PF driver would enable it and all
|
|
VFs associated with the PF.
|
|
|
|
2.2 How can I use the Virtual Functions
|
|
|
|
The VF is treated as hot-plugged PCI devices in the kernel, so they
|
|
should be able to work in the same way as real PCI devices. The VF
|
|
requires device driver that is same as a normal PCI device's.
|
|
|
|
3. Developer Guide
|
|
|
|
3.1 SR-IOV API
|
|
|
|
To enable SR-IOV capability:
|
|
int pci_enable_sriov(struct pci_dev *dev, int nr_virtfn);
|
|
'nr_virtfn' is number of VFs to be enabled.
|
|
|
|
To disable SR-IOV capability:
|
|
void pci_disable_sriov(struct pci_dev *dev);
|
|
|
|
To notify SR-IOV core of Virtual Function Migration:
|
|
irqreturn_t pci_sriov_migration(struct pci_dev *dev);
|
|
|
|
3.2 Usage example
|
|
|
|
Following piece of code illustrates the usage of the SR-IOV API.
|
|
|
|
static int __devinit dev_probe(struct pci_dev *dev, const struct pci_device_id *id)
|
|
{
|
|
pci_enable_sriov(dev, NR_VIRTFN);
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
return 0;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
static void __devexit dev_remove(struct pci_dev *dev)
|
|
{
|
|
pci_disable_sriov(dev);
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
static int dev_suspend(struct pci_dev *dev, pm_message_t state)
|
|
{
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
return 0;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
static int dev_resume(struct pci_dev *dev)
|
|
{
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
return 0;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
static void dev_shutdown(struct pci_dev *dev)
|
|
{
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
static struct pci_driver dev_driver = {
|
|
.name = "SR-IOV Physical Function driver",
|
|
.id_table = dev_id_table,
|
|
.probe = dev_probe,
|
|
.remove = __devexit_p(dev_remove),
|
|
.suspend = dev_suspend,
|
|
.resume = dev_resume,
|
|
.shutdown = dev_shutdown,
|
|
};
