Hi, I am trying to use DPDK SRIOV passthrough with DPDK on Intel NICs. I am following the instructions in "Network Interface Controller Drivers", in http://fast.dpdk.org/doc/pdf-guides/nics-16.07.pdf
I saw in "11.2 Setting Up a KVM Virtual Machine Monitor" in this pdf that it says to download qemu-kvm-0.14.0 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/kvm/files/qemu-kvm/ ,build it and run /usr/local/kvm/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 My question is: there is also qemu-system-x86_64 executable in qemu Fedora rpms. It is built from the qemu project which is hosted on http://www.qemu.org. I made a brief comparison between the trees of both these projects (qemu and KVM qemu-kvm) and they seem different. Should SRIOV passthrough, as described in the aforementioned DPDK nics-16.07.pdf, work also with this qemu-system-x86_64 from the qemu project? or is using the qemu-system-x86_64 of the qemu project is not good enough, and using KVM qemu-system-x86_64 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/kvm/files/qemu-kvm/ is a must ?
