("[PATCH for 9.1 v9 00/11] hw/pci: SR-IOV related fixes and improvements")
Introduction
------------
This series is based on the RFC series submitted by Yui Washizu[1].
See also [2] for the context.
This series enables SR-IOV emulation for virtio-net. It is useful
to test SR-IOV support on the guest, or to expose several vDPA devices
in a VM. vDPA devices can also provide L2 switching feature for
offloading though it is out of scope to allow the guest to configure
such a feature.
The PF side code resides in virtio-pci. The VF side code resides in
the PCI common infrastructure, but it is restricted to work only for
virtio-net-pci because of lack of validation.
User Interface
--------------
A user can configure a SR-IOV capable virtio-net device by adding
virtio-net-pci functions to a bus. Below is a command line example:
-netdev user,id=n -netdev user,id=o
-netdev user,id=p -netdev user,id=q
-device pcie-root-port,id=b
-device virtio-net-pci,bus=b,addr=0x0.0x3,netdev=q,sriov-pf=f
-device virtio-net-pci,bus=b,addr=0x0.0x2,netdev=p,sriov-pf=f
-device virtio-net-pci,bus=b,addr=0x0.0x1,netdev=o,sriov-pf=f
-device virtio-net-pci,bus=b,addr=0x0.0x0,netdev=n,id=f
The VFs specify the paired PF with "sriov-pf" property. The PF must be
added after all VFs. It is user's responsibility to ensure that VFs have
function numbers larger than one of the PF, and the function numbers
have a consistent stride.
I tried to start a VM with more than 8 VFs allocated using your patch,
but the following error occured and qemu didn't work:
VF function number overflows.
I think the cause of this error is that virtio-net-pci PFs don't have ARI.
(pcie_ari_init is not added to virtio-net-pci when PFs are initialized.)
I think it is possible to add it later,
but how about adding pcie_ari_init ?
As a trial,
adding pcie_ari_init to virtio_pci_realize enabled the creation of more
than 8 VFs.
Keeping VF instances
--------------------
A problem with SR-IOV emulation is that it needs to hotplug the VFs as
the guest requests. Previously, this behavior was implemented by
realizing and unrealizing VFs at runtime. However, this strategy does
not work well for the proposed virtio-net emulation; in this proposal,
device options passed in the command line must be maintained as VFs
are hotplugged, but they are consumed when the machine starts and not
available after that, which makes realizing VFs at runtime impossible.
As an strategy alternative to runtime realization/unrealization, this
series proposes to reuse the code to power down PCI Express devices.
When a PCI Express device is powered down, it will be hidden from the
guest but will be kept realized. This effectively implements the
behavior we need for the SR-IOV emulation.
Summary
-------
Patch 1 disables ROM BAR, which virtio-net-pci enables by default, for
VFs.
Patch 2 makes zero stride valid for 1 VF configuration.
Patch 3 and 4 adds validations.
Patch 5 adds user-created SR-IOV VF infrastructure.
Patch 6 makes virtio-pci work as SR-IOV PF for user-created VFs.
Patch 7 allows user to create SR-IOV VFs with virtio-net-pci.
