| 5 | +PCI VFIO driver for the AMD/Pensando(R) DSC adapter family |

| 8 | +AMD/Pensando Linux VFIO PCI Device Driver |

| 10 | + |
| 11 | +Overview |
| 12 | +======== |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +The ``pds-vfio-pci`` module is a PCI driver that supports Live Migration |
| 15 | +capable Virtual Function (VF) devices in the DSC hardware. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +Using the device |
| 18 | +================ |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +The pds-vfio-pci device is enabled via multiple configuration steps and |
| 21 | +depends on the ``pds_core`` driver to create and enable SR-IOV Virtual |
| 22 | +Function devices. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +Shown below are the steps to bind the driver to a VF and also to the |
| 25 | +associated auxiliary device created by the ``pds_core`` driver. This |
| 26 | +example assumes the pds_core and pds-vfio-pci modules are already |
| 27 | +loaded. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +.. code-block:: bash |
| 30 | + :name: example-setup-script |
| 31 | +
|
| 32 | + #!/bin/bash |
| 33 | +
|
| 34 | + PF_BUS="0000:60" |
| 35 | + PF_BDF="0000:60:00.0" |
| 36 | + VF_BDF="0000:60:00.1" |
| 37 | +
|
| 38 | + # Prevent non-vfio VF driver from probing the VF device |
| 39 | + echo 0 > /sys/class/pci_bus/$PF_BUS/device/$PF_BDF/sriov_drivers_autoprobe |
| 40 | +
|
| 41 | + # Create single VF for Live Migration via pds_core |
| 42 | + echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pds_core/$PF_BDF/sriov_numvfs |
| 43 | +
|
| 44 | + # Allow the VF to be bound to the pds-vfio-pci driver |
| 45 | + echo "pds-vfio-pci" > /sys/class/pci_bus/$PF_BUS/device/$VF_BDF/driver_override |
| 46 | +
|
| 47 | + # Bind the VF to the pds-vfio-pci driver |
| 48 | + echo "$VF_BDF" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pds-vfio-pci/bind |
| 49 | +
|
| 50 | +After performing the steps above, a file in /dev/vfio/<iommu_group> |
| 51 | +should have been created. |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +Enabling the driver |
| 55 | +=================== |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +The driver is enabled via the standard kernel configuration system, |
| 58 | +using the make command:: |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | + make oldconfig/menuconfig/etc. |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +The driver is located in the menu structure at: |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | + -> Device Drivers |
| 65 | + -> VFIO Non-Privileged userspace driver framework |
| 66 | + -> VFIO support for PDS PCI devices |
| 67 | + |
