Detailed Description

RTE VFIO. This library provides various VFIO related utility functions.

Definition in file rte_vfio.h.

Function Documentation

rte_vfio_setup_device()

int rte_vfio_setup_device	(	const char *	sysfs_base,
		const char *	dev_addr,
		int *	vfio_dev_fd,
		struct vfio_device_info *	device_info
	)

Setup vfio_cfg for the device identified by its address. It discovers the configured I/O MMU groups or sets a new one for the device. If a new groups is assigned, the DMA mapping is performed.

This function is only relevant to linux and will return an error on BSD.

Parameters

sysfs_base	sysfs path prefix.
dev_addr	device location.
vfio_dev_fd	VFIO fd.
device_info	Device information.

Returns

0 on success. <0 on failure. >1 if the device cannot be managed this way.

rte_vfio_release_device()

int rte_vfio_release_device	(	const char *	sysfs_base,
		const char *	dev_addr,
		int	fd
	)

Release a device mapped to a VFIO-managed I/O MMU group.

This function is only relevant to linux and will return an error on BSD.

Parameters

sysfs_base	sysfs path prefix.
dev_addr	device location.
fd	VFIO fd.

Returns

0 on success. <0 on failure.

rte_vfio_enable()

int rte_vfio_enable

(

const char *

modname

)

Enable a VFIO-related kmod.

This function is only relevant to linux and will return an error on BSD.

Parameters

modname

kernel module name.

Returns

0 on success. <0 on failure.

rte_vfio_is_enabled()

int rte_vfio_is_enabled

(

const char *

modname

)

Check whether a VFIO-related kmod is enabled.

This function is only relevant to Linux.

Parameters

modname

kernel module name.

Returns

1 if true. 0 otherwise.

rte_vfio_noiommu_is_enabled()

int rte_vfio_noiommu_is_enabled

(

void

)

Whether VFIO NOIOMMU mode is enabled.

This function is only relevant to Linux.

Returns

1 if true. 0 if false. <0 for errors.

rte_vfio_clear_group()

int rte_vfio_clear_group

(

int

vfio_group_fd

)

Remove group fd from internal VFIO group fd array/

This function is only relevant to linux and will return an error on BSD.

Parameters

vfio_group_fd

VFIO Group FD.

Returns

0 on success. <0 on failure.

rte_vfio_get_group_num()

int rte_vfio_get_group_num	(	const char *	sysfs_base,
		const char *	dev_addr,
		int *	iommu_group_num
	)

Parse IOMMU group number for a device

This function is only relevant to linux and will return an error on BSD.

Parameters

sysfs_base	sysfs path prefix.
dev_addr	device location.
iommu_group_num	iommu group number

Returns

>0 on success 0 for non-existent group or VFIO <0 for errors

rte_vfio_get_container_fd()

int rte_vfio_get_container_fd

(

void

)

Open a new VFIO container fd

This function is only relevant to linux and will return an error on BSD.

Returns

‍0 container fd < 0 for errors

rte_vfio_get_group_fd()

int rte_vfio_get_group_fd

(

int

iommu_group_num

)

Open VFIO group fd or get an existing one

This function is only relevant to linux and will return an error on BSD.

Parameters

iommu_group_num

iommu group number

Returns

‍0 group fd < 0 for errors

rte_vfio_container_create()

int rte_vfio_container_create

(

void

)

Create a new container for device binding.

Note

Any newly allocated DPDK memory will not be mapped into these containers by default, user needs to manage DMA mappings for any container created by this API.

When creating containers using this API, the container will only be available in the process that has created it. Sharing containers and devices between multiple processes is not supported.

Returns

the container fd if successful <0 if failed

rte_vfio_container_destroy()

int rte_vfio_container_destroy

(

int

container_fd

)

Destroy the container, unbind all vfio groups within it.

Parameters

container_fd

the container fd to destroy

Returns

0 if successful <0 if failed

rte_vfio_container_group_bind()

int rte_vfio_container_group_bind	(	int	container_fd,
		int	iommu_group_num
	)

Bind a IOMMU group to a container.

Parameters

container_fd	the container's fd
iommu_group_num	the iommu group number to bind to container

Returns

group fd if successful <0 if failed

rte_vfio_container_group_unbind()

int rte_vfio_container_group_unbind	(	int	container_fd,
		int	iommu_group_num
	)

Unbind a IOMMU group from a container.

Parameters

container_fd	the container fd of container
iommu_group_num	the iommu group number to delete from container

Returns

0 if successful <0 if failed

		uint64_t	vaddr,
		uint64_t	iova,
		uint64_t	len
	)
