In original design, it tries to group VFs to enable more number of VFs in the system, when VF BAR is bigger than 64MB. This design has a flaw in which one error on a VF will interfere other VFs in the same group.
This patch series change this design by using M64 BAR in Single PE mode to cover only one VF BAR. By doing so, it gives absolute isolation between VFs. v2: * clean up iov bar alignment calculation * change m64s to m64_bars * add a field to represent M64 Single PE mode will be used * change m64_wins to m64_map * calculate the gate instead of hard coded * dynamically allocate m64_map * dynamically allocate PE# * add a case to calculate iov bar alignment when M64 Single PE is used * when M64 Single PE is used, compare num_vfs with M64 BAR available number in system at first Wei Yang (6): powerpc/powernv: don't enable SRIOV when VF BAR contains non M64 BAR powerpc/powernv: simplify the calculation of iov resource powerpc/powernv: use one M64 BAR in Single PE mode for one VF BAR powerpc/powernv: replace the hard coded boundary with gate powerpc/powernv: boundary the total vf bar size instead of the individual one powerpc/powernv: allocate discrete PE# when using M64 BAR in Single PE mode arch/powerpc/include/asm/pci-bridge.h | 7 +- arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/pci-ioda.c | 311 +++++++++++++++-------------- 2 files changed, 163 insertions(+), 155 deletions(-) -- 1.7.9.5 _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
