I need to write a PMD for an FPGA based network device based on Xilinx
FPGA (Ultrascale).

Just to start I tried to load a dummy bitstream that has a status
register with a fixed value and a bunch of writable registers.

Then, I bound the vfio-pci to the device (10ee:903f)  because I plan
to be able to use "user space DMA" in my PMD.

I was able to mmap the fpga registers and read the status register. I
can write and read back the writable registers but, when I stop my
process and relaunch it, I find that the registers are all cleared
(really bad).
I tried to mmap the fpga using resource0 under sysfs and I'm able to
write and read back the registers correctly and the registers are
persistent (good).
Then it is not a problem related to the bitstream but something wrong
I make on the VFIO mmap or the device is reset when I start my C code
to do the mmap.
I also tried disabling IOMMU when loading the VFIO-PCI driver with no luck.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question but I
know there are many knowledgeable people reading this forum and I
cannot find many examples of using VFIO.

This is the script I use to bind vfio:

VID="10ee"
DID="903f"
DBDF="0000:"`lspci -n | grep -E ${VID}:${DID} | cut -d ' ' -f1`
echo ${DBDF}
ROOT_DBDF="0000:3a:00.0"
readlink /sys/bus/pci/devices/${DBDF}/iommu_group
GROUP=`readlink /sys/bus/pci/devices/${DBDF}/iommu_group | rev | cut
-d '/' -f1 | rev`
echo "GROUP " ${GROUP}
# unbind the ROOT device makes the group viable
echo ${ROOT_DBDF}  > /sys/bus/pci/devices/${ROOT_DBDF}/driver/unbind; sleep 1
echo ${DBDF}  > /sys/bus/pci/devices/${DBDF}/driver/unbind; sleep 1
echo ${VID} ${DID} > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/remove_id; sleep 1
echo ${VID} ${DID} > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/new_id; sleep 1
echo 8086 2030 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/new_id; sleep 1
ls -l /sys/bus/pci/devices/${DBDF}/iommu_group/devices; sleep 1

chmod 660 /dev/vfio/vfio


WHILE this is the C code I use to do the mmap:
