Subject: vIOMMU&IOMMU gIOVA to HPA mapping
Date: Mon, 14 Nov 2022 20:31:49 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2022111420314945171759@tom.com> (raw)
Hi，
Here is my application scenario：
1. The NIC (Network Information Center) passes through to the VM(Virtual Machine);
2. The VM uses the user mode driver DPDK;
Question:
1. vIOMMU maintains the mapping gIOVA->gPA, When do you use this gPA ?
2. Physical IOMMU maintains the GIOVA->HPA mapping ? If so, by what means (gIOVA -> HPA) mapping ?
3. What does QEMU do in NIC pass-through address translation ？
