These quirks are necessary for GeForce, but not for Quadro/GRID/Tesla assignment. Leaving them enabled is fully functional and provides the most compatibility, but due to the unique NVIDIA MSI ACK behavior[1], it also introduces latency in re-triggering the MSI interrupt. This overhead is typically negligible, but has been shown to adversely affect some (very) high interrupt rate applications. This adds the vfio-pci device option "x-no-geforce-quirks=" which can be set to "on" to disable this additional overhead. A follow-on optimization for GeForce might be to make use of an ioeventfd to allow KVM to trigger an irqfd in the kernel vfio-pci driver, avoiding the bounce through userspace to handle this device write. [1] Background: the NVIDIA driver has been observed to issue a write to the MMIO mirror of PCI config space in BAR0 in order to allow the MSI interrupt for the device to retrigger. Older reports indicated a write of 0xff to the (read-only) MSI capability ID register, while more recently a write of 0x0 is observed at config space offset 0x704, non-architected, extended config space of the device (BAR0 offset 0x88704). Virtualization of this range is only required for GeForce. Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com> |
