SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-or-later - -Compsable SR-IOV device -======================= - -SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization) is an optional extended capability of a -PCI Express device. It allows a single physical function (PF) to appear as -multiple virtual functions (VFs) for the main purpose of eliminating software -overhead in I/O from virtual machines. - -There are devices with predefined SR-IOV configurations, but it is also possible -to compose an SR-IOV device yourself. Composing an SR-IOV device is currently -only supported by virtio-net-pci. - -Users can configure an SR-IOV-capable virtio-net device by adding -virtio-net-pci functions to a bus. Below is a command line example: - -.. code-block:: shell - - -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 the user's responsibility to ensure that VFs have -function numbers larger than one of the PF, and that the function numbers -have a consistent stride. - -You may also need to perform additional steps to activate the SR-IOV feature on -your guest.
