Mdev is a way to virtualize devices in Linux kernel. Based on the device-api (mdev_type/device_api), there could be different types of mdev devices (e.g. vfio-pci). In this RFC, one mdev bus is introduced to scan the mdev devices in the system and do the probe based on the device-api. Take the mdev devices whose device-api is "vfio-pci" as an example, in this RFC, these devices will be probed by a mdev driver provided by PCI bus, which will plug them to the PCI bus. And they will be probed with the drivers registered on the PCI bus based on VendorID/ DeviceID/... then. +----------+ | mdev bus | +----+-----+ | +----------------+----+------+------+ | | | | mdev_vfio_pci ...... (device-api: vfio-pci) There are also other ways to add mdev device support in DPDK (e.g. let PCI bus scan /sys/bus/mdev/devices directly). Comments would be appreciated!
