[PATCH kernel 0/9] KVM, PPC, VFIO: Enable in-kernel acceleration

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This enables in-kernel acceleration of H_PUT_TCE/etc hypercalls for pseries
guests using VFIO. As pseries is a para-virtualized environment, the guest
can see and control IOMMUs via special hypercalls which let the guest
to add and remove mappings in real hardware IOMMU.

This was posted last time quite a long time ago so I dropped versions now,
this re-respin is v1. This was successfully used in the PowerKVM product
for quite a while now.

This is based on git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm.git , "next"
branch which got "multi-tce in-kernel acceleration" and "64 bit in-kernel
TCE" support.

Please comment. Thanks!
