Thank you for the inputs .
I was able to solve the problem of device notification from my control
plane.
I would like to know if we have any way to know if the PCI device is
already attached before we try to attach it ( if the device is already
attached pci probe will result an error ) .
But i want to know before hand to verify if the device is already attached
or not .
I came with small API which can be used to check if the pci device is
already bound to any driver .
+int
+rte_eal_pci_is_attached(const char *devargs)
+{
+ struct rte_pci_device *dev = NULL;
+ struct rte_pci_addr addr;
+ memset(&addr,0,sizeof(struct rte_pci_addr));
+
+ if (eal_parse_pci_DomBDF(devargs, &addr) == 0)
+ {
+ TAILQ_FOREACH(dev, &pci_device_list, next) {
+ if (!rte_eal_compare_pci_addr(&dev->addr, &addr))
+ {
+ if (dev->driver)
+ {
+ /*pci_dump_one_device(stdout,dev);*/
+ RTE_LOG(WARNING, EAL, "Requested device " PCI_PRI_FMT
+ " cannot be used\n", dev->addr.domain, dev->addr.bus,
+ dev->addr.devid, dev->addr.function);
+ return -1;
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ return 0;
+}
+
Could you please let me know if it is good to have such APIs
Regards,
_Srikanth_
