Subject: Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/2] eal: fix IOVA mode selection as VA for pci drivers
Date: Thu, 11 Jul 2019 16:40:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2472231.6TaqnvWiti@xps> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1562795329-16652-3-git-send-email-david.marchand@redhat.com>

I was expecting some replies / reviews of this patch today.


10/07/2019 23:48, David Marchand:
> The incriminated commit broke the use of RTE_PCI_DRV_IOVA_AS_VA which
> was intended to mean "driver only supports VA" but had been understood
> as "driver supports both PA and VA" by most net drivers and used to let
> dpdk processes to run as non root (which do not have access to physical
> addresses on recent kernels).
> 
> The check on physical addresses actually closed the gap for those
> drivers. We don't need to mark them with RTE_PCI_DRV_IOVA_AS_VA and this
> flag can retain its intended meaning.
> Document explicitly its meaning.
> 
> We can check that a driver requirement wrt to IOVA mode is fulfilled
> before trying to probe a device.
> 
> Finally, document the heuristic used to select the IOVA mode and hope
> that we won't break it again.
> 
> Fixes: 703458e19c16 ("bus/pci: consider only usable devices for IOVA mode")
> 
> Signed-off-by: David Marchand <david.marchand@redhat.com>
