From fa4f3fecb9688af1ece6a1c1c544d7758c39ef4e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xueming Li Date: Thu, 11 Mar 2021 13:13:27 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ethdev: support sub-function representor SubFunction is a portion of the PCI device, created on demand, a SF netdev has its own dedicated queues(txq, rxq). A SF netdev supports eswitch representation offload similar to existing PF and VF representors. To support SF representor, this patch introduces new devargs syntax, examples: representor=sf0 - single SubFunction representor representor=sf[1,3,5] - single list representor=sf[0-3], - single range representor=sf[0,2-6,8,10-12] - list with singles and ranges Signed-off-by: Xueming Li Acked-by: Viacheslav Ovsiienko Acked-by: Thomas Monjalon Acked-by: Andrew Rybchenko --- doc/guides/prog_guide/poll_mode_drv.rst | 6 +++- .../prog_guide/switch_representation.rst | 35 +++++++++++++------ doc/guides/rel_notes/release_21_05.rst | 5 +-- lib/librte_ethdev/ethdev_private.c | 11 ++++-- lib/librte_ethdev/rte_ethdev.c | 6 ++++ lib/librte_ethdev/rte_ethdev.h | 1 + 6 files changed, 49 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) diff --git a/doc/guides/prog_guide/poll_mode_drv.rst b/doc/guides/prog_guide/poll_mode_drv.rst index 0117c2af07..063a4680df 100644 --- a/doc/guides/prog_guide/poll_mode_drv.rst +++ b/doc/guides/prog_guide/poll_mode_drv.rst @@ -372,12 +372,16 @@ parameters to those ports. * ``representor`` for a device which supports the creation of representor ports this argument allows user to specify which switch ports to enable port - representors for.:: + representors for.
