Hi Michael,
please note that this series depends on mlx5 core device driver patches
in mlx5-next branch in
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mellanox/linux.git.
Thanks! OK so what's the plan for merging this?
Do patches at least build well enough that I can push them
upstream? Or do they have to go on top of the mellanox tree?

The patches are built on your linux-next branch which I updated
yesterday.

I am based on this commit:
776b7b25f10b (origin/linux-next) vhost: add an RPMsg API

On top of that I merged
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mellanox/linux.git

and after that I have Jason's patches (five patches), than one patch
from Max and then my patches (seven).

It builds fine on x84_64.
I fixed some conflicts on Jason's patches.

I also tested it to verify it's working.

BTW, for some reason I did not get all the patches into my mailbox and I
suspect they were not all sent. Did you get all the series 0-13?


I can see patch 0 to patch 12 but not patch 13 (I guess 12 is all).

Thanks



Please let me know, and if needed I'll resend.

git pull git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mellanox/linux.git mlx5-next

They also depend Jason Wang's patches: https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/7/1/301
The ones you included, right?

Right.
Jason, I had to resolve some conflicts so I would appreciate of you can verify
that it is ok.

The following series of patches provide VDPA support for Mellanox
devices. The supported devices are ConnectX6 DX and newer.

Currently, only a network driver is implemented; future patches will
introduce a block device driver. iperf performance on a single queue is
around 12 Gbps. Future patches will introduce multi queue support.

The files are organized in such a way that code that can be used by
different VDPA implementations will be placed in a common are resides in
drivers/vdpa/mlx5/core.

Only virtual functions are currently supported. Also, certain firmware
capabilities must be set to enable the driver. Physical functions (PFs)
are skipped by the driver.

To make use of the VDPA net driver, one must load mlx5_vdpa. In such
case, VFs will be operated by the VDPA driver. Although one can see a
regular instance of a network driver on the VF, the VDPA driver takes
precedence over the NIC driver, steering-wize.

Currently, the device/interface infrastructure in mlx5_core is used to
probe drivers. Future patches will introduce virtbus as a means to
register devices and drivers and VDPA will be adapted to it.

The mlx5 mode of operation required to support VDPA is switchdev mode.
Once can use Linux or OVS bridge to take care of layer 2 switching.

In order to provide virtio networking to a guest, an updated version of
qemu is required. This version has been tested by the following quemu
version:
