[PATCH 0/3] Add support for ACPI VIOT

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

 



Add a driver for the ACPI VIOT table, which enables virtio-iommu on
non-devicetree platforms, including x86. This series depends on the
ACPICA changes of patch 1, which will be included in next release [1]
and pulled into Linux.

The Virtual I/O Translation table (VIOT) describes the topology of
para-virtual I/O translation devices and the endpoints they manage.
It was recently approved for inclusion into the ACPI standard [2].
A provisional version of the specification can be found at [3].

After discussing non-devicetree support for virtio-iommu at length
[4][5][6] we concluded that it should use this new ACPI table. And for
platforms that don't implement either devicetree or ACPI, a structure
that uses roughly the same format [6] can be built into the device.
