The reason for doing that is to avoid conflicts in Linus's tree on the
mlx5_ifc.h file.

Gentle ping.

Note that I will have to send a v2. The changes in mlx5_ifc.h will need to be
merged first separately into the mlx5-next branch [0] and then pulled from there
when the series is applied.
This separation is unnecessary, as historically the virtio emulation 
portion of the update to mlx5_ifc.h often had to go through the vhost 
tree. See commits 1892a3d425bf and e13cd45d352d. Especially the 
additions from this series (mainly desc group mkey) have nothing to do 
with any networking or NIC driver feature.

Gentle ping.

Note that I will have to send a v2. The changes in mlx5_ifc.h will need to be
merged first separately into the mlx5-next branch [0] and then pulled from there

Hi Dragos, Eugenio and Si-Wei

My name is Lei Yang, a software Quality Engineer from Red Hat.  And
always paying attention to improving the live migration downtime
issues because there are others QE asked about this problem when I
share live migration status  recently. Therefore I would like to test
it in my environment. Before the testing I want to know if there is an
expectation of downtime range based on this series of patches? In
addition, QE also can help do a regression test based on this series
of patches if there is a requirement.


Hi Lei,

Thanks for offering the testing bandwidth!

I think we can only do regression tests here, as the userland part is
still not sent to qemu.
Right. Regression for now, even QEMU has it, to exercise the relevant 
feature it would need a supporting firmware that is not yet available 
for now. Just stay tuned.


thanks for your patience,

Regards and thanks
Lei

[PATCH 00/16] vdpa: Add support for vq descriptor mappings

2023-09-12 Thread Dragos Tatulea via Virtualization
This patch series adds support for vq descriptor table mappings which
are used to improve vdpa live migration downtime. The improvement comes
from using smaller mappings which take less time to create and destroy
in hw.

The first part adds the vdpa core changes from Si-Wei [0].

The second part adds support in mlx5_vdpa:
- Refactor the mr code to be able to cleanly add descriptor mappings.
- Add hardware descriptor mr support.
- Properly update iotlb for cvq during ASID switch.
