The following series of patches enable spapr-pci-vfio-host-bridge controllers on PPC64-pseries machine which is required for supporting host device passthrough using VFIO. There were some initial enablement work on the same at http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-September/msg00838.html. The testing revealed contrasting observations and the current patch series solve the same. Unlike other architectures, on pseries(ppc64) the vfio host devices(will refer as hostdevs here on) cannot be assigned to the default emulated pci-host- bus controller(like the default pci.0). On pseries, the hostdevs goto spapr-pci-vfio-host-bridge. The hostdevs belonging to the same iommu group share the same spapr-pci-vfio-host-bridge. Henceforth, new spapr-pci-host-bridge needs to be added for every hostdev belonging to any new iommu group. The hostdevs appear in new pci domain inside the guest. The spapr-pci-vfio-host-bridge is a generic bridge and it can host both pci and pci-e host devices. The model pci-root is chosen for this controller just for convenience. The patch series take care to add the new controller. Each new controller creates up a new pci domain in the guest. Every hostdev get their pci address in the relavent domain. Tha patch series take care of device addressing in passthrough hostdevs, SR-IOV interfaces and network interface from SRIOV virtual function pools. --- Shivaprasad G Bhat (4): qemu: Add SPAPR_VFIO_HOST_BRIDGE capability for PPC platform qemu: parse and add spapr-vfio-pci controller into domain qemu: assign addresses for spapr vfio hostdevices and generate cli qemu: add test case for spapr-pci-vfio-host-bridge docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng | 28 ++ src/bhyve/bhyve_domain.c | 2 src/conf/domain_addr.c | 8 - src/conf/domain_addr.h | 1 src/conf/domain_conf.c | 149 ++++++++++- src/conf/domain_conf.h | 19 + src/libvirt_private.syms | 2 src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c | 2 src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.h | 1 src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 279 +++++++++++++++++++- src/qemu/qemu_command.h | 17 + src/qemu/qemu_domain.c | 12 - src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 6 tests/qemuhotplugtest.c | 2 .../qemuxml2argv-hostdev-spapr-vfio.args | 16 + .../qemuxml2argv-hostdev-spapr-vfio.xml | 76 +++++ tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c | 8 + 17 files changed, 591 insertions(+), 37 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-hostdev-spapr-vfio.args create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-hostdev-spapr-vfio.xml -- Signature -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
