[vfio-users] VFIO-PCI with AARCH64 QEMU

Hi All,

I was able to enable both memory regions but my test program did not work on aarch64 as it does on x86. The driver is an UIO driver and it fails when it can't find resource0 in /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:09.0. In the x86 guest, I see resource0 and resource1 in that directory. In the aarch64 guest, there is no resourceN. Is this related? 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38921463/linux-kernel-4-7-arch-arm64-does-not-create-resource0-file-in-sys-bus-pci-d

Any ideas on how I can have resource0 and resource1 populated? 

The memory regions still show up as disabled and I must enable them with setpci. The pci-related portion of the kernel log is below as well as lspci output. I updated to kernel 4.8.4-040804. I see the same behavior with 4.4.0 or 4.8.4.

Best Regards,

Steve Haynal

Hi All,

I can enable the memory region with the "setpci -s 00:09.0 COMMAND=2:2" command. For proof of concept tests, I can get by with a shared memory size of 8MB, which should fit. I can also switch to 64-bit BARs. Both of these changes require resynthesizing the FPGA design overnight and may cause other problems, so I will report back if it works tomorrow.

I am using the stock default kernel in the current Xenial aarch64 cloud image from Ubuntu (4.4.0-45). I will build a newer kernel.

I also prefer the enumeration and standardization of a PCI device over a platform device, but some of our customers want the virtual environment to more closely match their final hardware target environment. I will take a look at ivshmem. 

Thanks again to all for the help.
 
Best Regards,

Steve Haynal
