Overview + +1.1 What is SR-IOV + +Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) is a PCI Express Extended +capability which makes one physical device appear as multiple virtual +devices. The physical device is referred to as Physical Function (PF) +while the virtual devices are referred to as Virtual Functions (VF). +Allocation of the VF can be dynamically controlled by the PF via +registers encapsulated in the capability. By default, this feature is +not enabled and the PF behaves as traditional PCIe device. Once it's +turned on, each VF's PCI configuration space can be accessed by its own +Bus, Device and Function Number (Routing ID). And each VF also has PCI +Memory Space, which is used to map its register set. VF device driver +operates on the register set so it can be functional and appear as a +real existing PCI device. + +2. User Guide + +2.1 How can I enable SR-IOV capability + +The device driver (PF driver) will control the enabling and disabling +of the capability via API provided by SR-IOV core.
