The NVIDIA V100 GPU has an onboard RAM that is mapped into the host memory and accessible as normal RAM via an NVLink2 bridge. When passed through in a guest, QEMU puts the NVIDIA RAM window in a non-contiguous area, above the PCI MMIO area that starts at 32TiB. This means that the NVIDIA RAM window starts at 64TiB and go all the way to 128TiB. This means that the guest might request a 64-bit window, for each PCI Host Bridge, that goes all the way to 128TiB. However, the NVIDIA RAM window isn't counted as regular RAM, thus this window is considered only for the allocation of the Translation and Control Entry (TCE). For more information about how NVLink2 support works in QEMU, refer to the accepted implementation [1]. This memory layout differs from the existing VFIO case, requiring its own formula. This patch changes the PPC64 code of @qemuDomainGetMemLockLimitBytes to: - detect if we have a NVLink2 bridge being passed through to the guest. This is done by using the @ppc64VFIODeviceIsNV2Bridge function added in the previous patch. The existence of the NVLink2 bridge in the guest means that we are dealing with the NVLink2 memory layout; - if an IBM NVLink2 bridge exists, passthroughLimit is calculated in a different way to account for the extra memory the TCE table can alloc. The 64TiB..128TiB window is more than enough to fit all possible GPUs, thus the memLimit is the same regardless of passing through 1 or multiple V100 GPUs.

Libvirt API for virtualization
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the website:
License
The libvirt C API is distributed under the terms of GNU Lesser General
Public License, version 2.1 (or later). Some parts of the code that are
not part of the C library may have the more restrictive GNU General
Public License, version 2.1 (or later). See the files COPYING.LESSER
and COPYING for full license terms & conditions.
Installation
Libvirt uses the GNU Autotools build system, so in general can be built and installed with the usual commands. For example, to build in a manner that is suitable for installing as root, use:
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
$ make
$ sudo make install
While to build & install as an unprivileged user
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
$ make
$ make install
The libvirt code relies on a large number of 3rd party libraries. These will
be detected during execution of the configure script and a summary printed
which lists any missing (optional) dependencies.
Contributing
The libvirt project welcomes contributions in many ways. For most components the best way to contribute is to send patches to the primary development mailing list. Further guidance on this can be found on the website:
https://libvirt.org/contribute.html
Contact
The libvirt project has two primary mailing lists:
- libvirt-users@redhat.com (for user discussions)
- libvir-list@redhat.com (for development only)
