CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev* markings need to be removed. This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata, __devinitconst, and __devexit from the kernel documentation. Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

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
|
|
|
|
Multiple methods are available for SR-IOV enablement.
|
|
In the first method, 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. Some PF drivers require
|
|
a module parameter to be set to determine the number of VFs to enable.
|
|
In the second method, a write to the sysfs file sriov_numvfs will
|
|
enable and disable the VFs associated with a PCIe PF. This method
|
|
enables per-PF, VF enable/disable values versus the first method,
|
|
which applies to all PFs of the same device. Additionally, the
|
|
PCI SRIOV core support ensures that enable/disable operations are
|
|
valid to reduce duplication in multiple drivers for the same
|
|
checks, e.g., check numvfs == 0 if enabling VFs, ensure
|
|
numvfs <= totalvfs.
|
|
The second method is the recommended method for new/future VF devices.
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
(a) For the first method, in the driver:
|
|
int pci_enable_sriov(struct pci_dev *dev, int nr_virtfn);
|
|
'nr_virtfn' is number of VFs to be enabled.
|
|
(b) For the second method, from sysfs:
|
|
echo 'nr_virtfn' > \
|
|
/sys/bus/pci/devices/<DOMAIN:BUS:DEVICE.FUNCTION>/sriov_numvfs
|
|
|
|
To disable SR-IOV capability:
|
|
(a) For the first method, in the driver:
|
|
void pci_disable_sriov(struct pci_dev *dev);
|
|
(b) For the second method, from sysfs:
|
|
echo 0 > \
|
|
/sys/bus/pci/devices/<DOMAIN:BUS:DEVICE.FUNCTION>/sriov_numvfs
|
|
|
|
To notify SR-IOV core of Virtual Function Migration:
|
|
(a) In the driver:
|
|
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 dev_probe(struct pci_dev *dev, const struct pci_device_id *id)
|
|
{
|
|
pci_enable_sriov(dev, NR_VIRTFN);
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
return 0;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
static void 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 int dev_sriov_configure(struct pci_dev *dev, int numvfs)
|
|
{
|
|
if (numvfs > 0) {
|
|
...
|
|
pci_enable_sriov(dev, numvfs);
|
|
...
|
|
return numvfs;
|
|
}
|
|
if (numvfs == 0) {
|
|
....
|

...
|
|
return 0;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|
