Subject: Re: [dpdk-users] IGB UIO vs i40e PMD ?
Date: Sat, 6 Mar 2021 21:30:03 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <AB595FCF-6114-4C38-9A10-881F8FF350AB@csie.io> (raw)
IGB UIO is based on Linux userspace io.
The UIO mechanism make device memory in kernel can be mapped to a driver in userspace and programmer can program features in this driver.
Therefore there are 2 parts in UIO mechanism, one is a kernel module to register device to UIO(e.g. igb_uio.ko), the other one is the userspace driver(e.g. i40e_pmd)
vfio is different to UIO, but it also provides userspace driver functions to make userspace can access PCI device
