From 6d6e95cec4556c17d22cc829122cd7178fadedeb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maxime Coquelin Date: Fri, 12 Oct 2018 14:40:46 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net/vhost: add parameter to enable postcopy Introduce a new postcopy-support parameter to Vhost PMD that passes the RTE_VHOST_USER_POSTCOPY_SUPPORT flag at vhost device register time. Flag should only be set if application does not prefault guest memory using, for example, mlockall() syscall. Default value is 0, meaning that postcopy support is disabled unless specified explicitly. Example to enable postcopy support for a given device: --vdev 'net_vhost0,iface=/tmp/vhost-user1,postcopy-support=1' Signed-off-by: Maxime Coquelin --- doc/guides/nics/vhost.rst | 5 +++++ drivers/net/vhost/rte_eth_vhost.c | 13 +++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 18 insertions(+) diff --git a/doc/guides/nics/vhost.rst b/doc/guides/nics/vhost.rst index 4f7ae89905..23f2e87aa9 100644 --- a/doc/guides/nics/vhost.rst +++ b/doc/guides/nics/vhost.rst @@ -71,6 +71,11 @@ The user can specify below arguments in `--vdev` option.
