vDPA Device Drivers
===================

The following are a list of vDPA (vHost Data Path Acceleration) device drivers,
which can be used from an application through vhost API.

drivers: introduce vDPA class The vDPA (vhost data path acceleration) drivers provide support for the vDPA operations introduced by the rte_vhost library. Any driver which provides the vDPA operations should be moved\added to the vdpa class under drivers/vdpa/. Create the general files for vDPA class in drivers and in documentation. The management tree for vDPA drivers is git://dpdk.org/next/dpdk-next-virtio.

doc: add vDPA features table Add vDPA devices features table and explanation. Any vDPA driver can add its own supported features by ading a new ini file to the features directory in doc/guides/vdpadevs/features. Signed-off-by: Matan Azrad <matan@mellanox.com> 2020-01-09 11:00:16 +00:00

drivers: move ifc to vDPA directory A new vDPA class was recently introduced. IFC driver implements the vDPA operations, hence it should be moved to the vDPA class. Move it.

vdpa/mlx5: introduce Mellanox vDPA driver Add a new driver to support vDPA operations by Mellanox devices. The first Mellanox devices which support vDPA operations are ConnectX-6 Dx and Bluefield1 HCA for their PF ports and VF ports. This driver is depending on rdma-core like the mlx5 PMD, also it is going to use mlx5 DevX to create HW objects directly by the FW. Hence, the common/mlx5 library is linked to the mlx5_vdpa driver. This driver will not be compiled by default due to the above dependencies. Register a new log type for this driver.
