[PATCH vhost v2 0/8] vdpa/mlx5: Add support for resumable vqs

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

 



Add support for resumable vqs in the driver. This is a firmware feature
that can be used for the following benefits:
- Full device .suspend/.resume.
- .set_map doesn't need to destroy and create new vqs anymore just to
  update the map. When resumable vqs are supported it is enough to
  suspend the vqs, set the new maps, and then resume the vqs.

The first patch exposes the relevant bits in mlx5_ifc.h. That means it
needs to be applied to the mlx5-vhost tree [0] first. Once applied
there, the change has to be pulled from mlx5-vhost into the vhost tree
and only then the remaining patches can be applied. Same flow as the vq
descriptor mappings patchset [1].

To be able to use resumable vqs properly, support for selectively modifying
vq parameters was needed. This is what the second part of the series
consists of.

The middle part adds support for resumable vqs.

The last part of the series introduces reference counting for mrs which
is necessary to avoid freeing mkeys too early or leaking them.

* Changes in v2:
- Added mr refcounting patches.
- Deleted unnecessary patch: "vdpa/mlx5: Split function into locked and
  unlocked variants"
- Small print improvement in "Introduce per vq and device resume"
  patch.
- Patch 1/7 has been applied to mlx5-vhost branch.
