Platform Software Patches and Configurations: Vera#
This section provides information about software patches and configuration settings that are required or recommended for I/O virtualization on the Vera platform.
Note
Unless specifically noted, all of the patches and configurations for the Grace I/O virtualization platform section also apply to the Vera platform.
Note
The patches and configurations in the Vera bare metal section are also relevant to host and guest virtual environments.
Linux Kernel Patches#
This section provides information about the Linux Kernel patches that support I/O virtualization on the Vera platform.
Upstream Linux Kernel#
The tables in this section list Linux kernel patches that are upstream. This means that the patches have been accepted into the main Linux kernel branch or have been posted to the Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML) and are currently being reviewed by the community.
Note
There might be circumstances where additional, dependent patches are required to support the patches in these tables (for example, when the patch listed is part of a larger series). There might also be situations where not all of the patches in the series were taken upstream. These patches will be documented in a future LKML discussion.
The LKML discussion and Git description are pulled directly from their respective source and are intended to help with searches and comparisons. These strings might contain spelling and grammatical errors.
Host Kernel I/O Virtualization: GPU Passthrough#
The following table contains patches that are required for GPU passthrough support on the Vera platform. This support includes host GPU passthrough, vGPU (including QoS), and MIG.
