Re: [PATCH 00/16] [RFC] [VFIO] Add VFIO support to DPDK

Hi Stephen,
Will this work in guest? or only on bare metal?
VFIO is Linux-only, and in theory will be able to work on the guest, but not at the moment, since it requires IOMMU. There was a GSoC proposal for KVM to do IOMMU implementation, and there were a few AMD IOMMU-emulation patches floating around the KVM lists for some time, but nothing has made it into release yet. Best regards, Anatoly Burakov DPDK SW Engineer -------------------------------------------------------------- Intel Shannon Limited Registered in Ireland Registered Office: Collinstown Industrial Park, Leixlip, County Kildare Registered Number: 308263 Business address: Dromore House, East Park, Shannon, Co.
