I found that looks only support the latest DSA device which is part of SPR(Please correct me if I'm wrong). However, there still is lots existing CPU that support previous CBDMA Intel Quick-DATA technology. SPDK enable those device with uio. Any hint to enable those CBDMA device with IOAT PMD ?

I follow the DPDK IOAT driver Doc, I bind 0000.04.0 device with dpdk-devbind.py 2. I run dpdk-test without any parameter then dpdk-test complain with EAL: VFIO support initialized EAL: 0000:00:04.0 VFIO group is not viable! Not all devices in IOMMU group bound to VFIO or unbound Requested device 0000:00:04.0 cannot be used 3. kernel boot parameter include the "intel_iommu=on" If I still need some extra iommu settings for CBDMA device ?

So for the CBDMA instance, to use one channel with vfio, the other channels on the device also need to be bound to vfio, or else not bound to any driver. If bound to the kernel driver, there will be IOMMU conflicts as we can't split the channels between kernel and userspace address spaces. /Bruce ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

Many thanks for your help ! I strongly recommend to add the IOMMU hint of CBDMA(bind whole device) into the Doc. I think DSA device don't need to do that right ?

I think DSA device don't need to do that right ? Each DSA instance appears only as a single device so this would not apply as it can't be partially in kernel and partially not. However, as I said previously, the issue is not just relevant to CBDMA, it applies equally to e.g. ixgbe or i40e NICs with two ports, or any other device where different subfunctions must be in the same IOMMU group. /Bruce ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread
