[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v9 2/2] eal: support for VFIO-PCI VF token

[Haiyue Wang <haiyue.wang@intel.com>]

The kernel module vfio-pci introduces the VF token to enable SR-IOV
support since 5.7.

The VF token can be set by a vfio-pci based PF driver and must be known
by the vfio-pci based VF driver in order to gain access to the device.

 VFIO kernel modules have been included in the Linux kernel since version 3.6.0 and are usually present by default,
 however please consult your distributions documentation to make sure that is the case.
 
+The ``vfio-pci`` module since Linux version 5.7 supports the creation of virtual
+functions. After the PF is bound to vfio-pci module, the user can create the VFs
+by sysfs interface, and these VFs are bound to vfio-pci module automatically.
+
+When the PF is bound to vfio-pci, it has initial VF token generated by random. For
+security reason, this token is write only, the user can't read it from the kernel
+directly. For accessing the VF, the user needs to start the PF with token parameter
+to setup a VF token (uuid format), then the VF can be accessed with this new known
+VF token.
+
+Also if the DPDK application running on the PF device exits, the user wants to start
+the PF with another different VF token value, it has no issue if no application like
+DPDK or KVM runs on VFs. Otherwise, the PF will fail to start until all VFs are free
+to use, after that, the user can select a new VF token to start the PF device.
+
+DPDK will use the keyword ``vf_token`` as the device argument to pass the VF token
+value to PF and its related VFs, the PMD should not use it, and this argument will
+be pruned from the device argument list, so the PMD can parse its own valid device
+arguments successfully.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    1. Generate the VF token by uuid command
+        14d63f20-8445-11ea-8900-1f9ce7d5650d
+
+    2. sudo modprobe vfio-pci enable_sriov=1
+
+    2. ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b vfio-pci 0000:86:00.0
+
+    3. echo 2 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:86:00.0/sriov_numvfs
+
+    4. Start the PF:
+        ./x86_64-native-linux-gcc/app/testpmd -l 22-25 -n 4 \
+         -w 86:00.0,vf_token=14d63f20-8445-11ea-8900-1f9ce7d5650d --file-prefix=pf -- -i
+
+    5. Start the VF:
+        ./x86_64-native-linux-gcc/app/testpmd -l 26-29 -n 4 \
+         -w 86:02.0,vf_token=14d63f20-8445-11ea-8900-1f9ce7d5650d --file-prefix=vf0 -- -i
+
 Also, to use VFIO, both kernel and BIOS must support and be configured to use IO virtualization (such as Intel® VT-d).
 
 .. note::
 
-    ``vfio-pci`` module doesn't support the creation of virtual functions.
+    ``vfio-pci`` module doesn't support the creation of virtual functions before Linux version 5.7.
 
 For proper operation of VFIO when running DPDK applications as a non-privileged user, correct permissions should also be set up.
 This can be done by using the DPDK setup script (called dpdk-setup.sh and located in the usertools directory).
