Subject: PIO/MMIO access from guest
Date: Fri, 15 Feb 2013 18:10:00 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <511E6BE8.6080904@crysys.hu> (raw)
Hi all,
I would like to access the configuration registers of my passthrough
device from an unmodified guest under KVM via MMIO/PIO directly. Is
there any option to configure the guest in this way? I know that you can
do this with the ioports=[''] option in case of Xen, but I could not
find any such option until now for KVM. I also read that
[+] PIO can be passed directly via VMCS I/O bitmaps
[+] MMIO can be passed directly via mapping device BARs to guest
[+] Some PIO/MMIO accesses must be trapped (PCI config space)
Can I do this with some configurations without recompiling the kernel?
Thank you!
