Adding functionality to libvirt that will allow querying the interface for the availability of switchdev Offloading NIC capabilities. The switchdev mode was introduced in kernel 4.8, the iproute2-devlink command to retrieve the switchdev NIC feature with command example: devlink dev eswitch show pci/0000:03:00.0 This feature is needed for Openstack so we can do a scheduling decision if the NIC is in Hardware Offload (switchdev) or regular SR-IOV (legacy) mode. And select the appropriate hypervisors with the requested capability see [1].

<h1>Node devices XML format</h1>

<h2><a id="NodedevAttributes">Node Device XML</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
There are several libvirt functions, all with the
|
|
prefix <code>virNodeDevice</code>, which deal with management of
|
|
host devices that can be handed to guests via passthrough as
|
|
<hostdev> elements
|
|
in <a href="formatdomain.html#elementsHostDev">the domain XML</a>.
|
|
These devices are represented as a hierarchy, where a device on
|
|
a bus has a parent of the bus controller device; the root of the
|
|
hierarchy is the node named "computer".
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
When represented in XML, a node device uses the
|
|
top-level <code>device</code> element, with the following
|
|
elements present according to the type of device:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><code>name</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>The name for this device. The name will be alphanumeric,
|
|
with words separated by underscore. For many devices, the
|
|
name is just the bus type and address, as in
|
|
"pci_0000_00_02_1" or "usb_1_5_3", but some devices are able
|
|
to provide more specific names, such as
|
|
"net_eth1_00_27_13_6a_fe_00".
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>parent</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>If this element is present, it names the parent device (that
|
|
is, a controller to which this node belongs).
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>devnode</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>This node appears for each associated <code>/dev</code>
|
|
special file. A mandatory attribute <code>type</code> specify
|
|
the kind of file path, which may be either <code>dev</code> for
|
|
the main name, or <code>link</code> for additional symlinks.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>capability</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>This node appears for each capability that libvirt
|
|
associates with a node. A mandatory
|
|
attribute <code>type</code> lists which category the device
|
|
belongs to, and controls which further subelements will be
|
|
present to describe the node:
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><code>system</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>Describes the overall host. Sub-elements include:
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><code>product</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>If present, a simple text string giving the product
|
|
name of the system.</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>hardware</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>Describes the hardware of the system, including
|
|
sub-elements for <code>vendor</code>, <code>version</code>,
|
|
<code>serial</code>, and <code>uuid</code>.</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>firmware</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>Describes the firmware of the system, including
|
|
sub-elements for <code>vendor</code>, <code>version</code>,
|
|
and <code>release_date</code>.</dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>pci</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>Describes a device on the host's PCI bus. Sub-elements
|
|
include:
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><code>domain</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>Which domain the device belongs to.</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>bus</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>Which bus within the domain.</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>slot</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>Which slot within the bus.</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>function</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>Which function within the slot.</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>product</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>Product details from the device ROM, including an
|
|
attribute <code>id</code> with the hexadecimal product
|
|
id, and an optional text description of that id.</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>vendor</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>Vendor details from the device ROM, including an
|
|
attribute <code>id</code> with the hexadecimal vendor
|
|
id, and an optional text name of that vendor.</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>iommuGroup</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
This optional element describes the "IOMMU group" this
|
|
device belongs to. If the element exists, it has a
|
|
mandatory <code>number</code> attribute which tells
|
|
the group number used for management of the group (all
|
|
devices in group "n" will be found in
|
|
"/sys/kernel/iommu_groups/n"). It will also have a
|
|
list of <code>address</code> subelements, each
|
|
containing the PCI address of a device in the same
|
|
group. The toplevel device will itself be included in
|
|
this list.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>capability</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
This optional element can occur multiple times. If it
|
|
exists, it has a mandatory <code>type</code> attribute
|
|
which will be set to:
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><code>physical_function</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
That means there will be a single <code>address</code>
|
|
subelement which contains the PCI address of the SRIOV
|
|
Physical Function (PF) that is the parent of this device
|
|
(and this device is, by implication, an SRIOV Virtual
|
|
Function (VF)).
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>virtual_function</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
In this case this device is an SRIOV PF, and the capability
|
|
element will have a list of <code>address</code>
|
|
subelements, one for each VF on this PF. If the host system
|
|
supports reporting it (via the "sriov_maxvfs" file in the
|
|
device's sysfs directory) the capability element will also
|
|
have an attribute named <code>maxCount</code> which is the
|
|
maximum number of SRIOV VFs supported by this device, which
|
|
could be higher than the number of VFs that are curently
|
|
active <span class="since">since 1.3.0</span>; in this case,
|
|
even if there are currently no active VFs the
|
|
virtual_functions capabililty will still be shown.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>pci-bridge</code> or <code>cardbus-bridge</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
This shows merely that the lower 7 bits of PCI header type
|
|
have either value of 1 or 2 respectively. Usually this
|
|
means such device cannot be used for PCI passthrough.
|
|
<span class="since">Since 1.3.3</span>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>numa</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
This optional element contains information on the PCI device
|
|
with respect to NUMA. For example, the optional
|
|
<code>node</code> attribute tells which NUMA node is the PCI
|
|
device associated with.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>pci-express</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
This optional element contains information on PCI Express part of
|
|
the device. For example, it can contain a child element
|
|
<code>link</code> which addresses the PCI Express device's link.
|
|
While a device has its own capabilities
|
|
(<code>validity='cap'</code>), the actual run time capabilities
|
|
are negotiated on the device initialization
|
|
(<code>validity='sta'</code>). The <code>link</code> element then
|
|
contains three attributes: <code>port</code> which says in which
|
|
port is the device plugged in, <code>speed</code> (in
|
|
GigaTransfers per second) and <code>width</code> for the number
|
|
of lanes used. Since the port can't be negotiated, it's not
|
|
exposed in <code>./pci-express/link/[@validity='sta']</code>.
