GVM: A GPU Virtual Machine for Iommu-Capable Computers
https://github.com/OpenMdev/VFIO-Mdev_Samples
> I'm not confused either about how GVM/mdev-gpu works or about its relation to libvf.io. It's not hard to read between the missing lines of your project roadmap.
You define types that are presented in mdevctl via a YAML config file the user can write themselves or via a JSON file. So LibVF.IO might as well be entirely ignorant to the fact that GVM is on the system. All it sees are different arbitrary mdev types that the user decides to create. Not sure where you're going with this comment.
>I read this before I ever wrote a reply, which you should have guessed because there was no other way to get any information. None of it tells anyone WHY this should use this instead of the bindings which have 100 developers on them, which have been battle tested for years, and for which the original author of VFIO wrote exhaustive, excellent manuals on the blog I linked earlier 7.5 years ago.
>What advantages does your system offer?
Well for starters I've never argued LibVF.IO is better than libvirt. In-fact when folks bring it up I generally say there's a lot we can learn from libvirt.
What are some alternatives?
LibVF.IO - A vendor neutral GPU multiplexing tool driven by VFIO & YAML.
linux-intel-lts - Intel LTS kernel
gvt-linux
Mdev-GPU - A user-configurable utility for GPU vendor drivers enabling the registration of arbitrary mdev types with the VFIO-Mediated Device framework.
linux - Linux kernel source tree
Kernel-Support
