vDPA mlx5 and more.\n\nThe only vDPA driver now is the IFC driver that is located in net directory.\n\nThe IFC driver and the new vDPA mlx5 driver provide the vDPA ops introduced in librte_vhost and not the eth-dev ops.\nAll the others drivers in net class provide the eth-dev ops.\nThe set of features is also different.\n\nCreate a new class for vDPA drivers and move IFC to this class.\nLater, all the new drivers that implement the vDPA ops will be added to the vDPA class.\n\nAlso, a vDPA device driver features list was added to vDPA documentation.\n\nPlease review the features list and the series.\n\nLater on, I'm going to send the vDPA mlx5 driver.\n\nThanks.\n\nv2:\nApply comments from Maxime Coquelin, Andrew Rybchenko and Tiwei Bie.\n\n\nMatan Azrad (3):\n drivers: introduce vDPA class\n doc: add vDPA feature table\n drivers: move ifc driver to the vDPA class\n\n MAINTAINERS | 19 +-\n doc/guides/conf.py | 5 +\n doc/guides/index.rst | 1 +\n doc/guides/nics/features/ifcvf.ini | 8 -\n doc/guides/nics/ifc.rst | 106 ---\n doc/guides/nics/index.rst | 1 -\n doc/guides/vdpadevs/features/default.ini | 50 ++\n doc/guides/vdpadevs/features/ifcvf.ini | 8 +\n doc/guides/vdpadevs/features_overview.rst | 74 ++\n doc/guides/vdpadevs/ifc.rst | 106 +++\n doc/guides/vdpadevs/index.rst | 15 +\n drivers/Makefile | 2 +\n drivers/meson.build | 1 +\n drivers/net/Makefile | 3 -\n drivers/net/ifc/Makefile | 34 -\n drivers/net/ifc/base/ifcvf.c | 329 --------\n drivers/net/ifc/base/ifcvf.h | 162 ----\n drivers/net/ifc/base/ifcvf_osdep.h | 52 --\n drivers/net/ifc/ifcvf_vdpa.c | 1280 -----------------------------\n drivers/net/ifc/meson.build | 9 -\n drivers/net/ifc/rte_pmd_ifc_version.map | 3 -\n drivers/net/meson.build | 1 -\n drivers/vdpa/Makefile | 14 +\n drivers/vdpa/ifc/Makefile | 34 +\n drivers/vdpa/ifc/base/ifcvf.c | 329 ++++++++\n drivers/vdpa/ifc/base/ifcvf.h | 162 ++++\n drivers/vdpa/ifc/base/ifcvf_osdep.h | 52 ++\n drivers/vdpa/ifc/ifcvf_vdpa.c | 1280 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++\n drivers/vdpa/ifc/meson.build | 9 +\n drivers/vdpa/ifc/rte_pmd_ifc_version.map | 3 +\n drivers/vdpa/meson.build | 8 +\n 31 files changed, 2164 insertions(+), 1996 deletions(-)\n delete mode 100644 doc/guides/nics/features/ifcvf.ini\n delete mode 100644 doc/guides/nics/ifc.rst\n create mode 100644 doc/guides/vdpadevs/features/default.ini\n create mode 100644 doc/guides/vdpadevs/features/ifcvf.ini\n create mode 100644 doc/guides/vdpadevs/features_overview.rst\n create mode 100644 doc/guides/vdpadevs/ifc.rst\n create mode 100644 doc/guides/vdpadevs/index.rst\n delete mode 100644 drivers/net/ifc/Makefile\n delete mode 100644 drivers/net/ifc/base/ifcvf.c\n delete mode 100644 drivers/net/ifc/base/ifcvf.h\n delete mode 100644 drivers/net/ifc/base/ifcvf_osdep.h\n delete mode 100644 drivers/net/ifc/ifcvf_vdpa.c\n delete mode 100644 drivers/net/ifc/meson.build\n delete mode 100644 drivers/net/ifc/rte_pmd_ifc_version.map\n create mode 100644 drivers/vdpa/Makefile\n create mode 100644 drivers/vdpa/ifc/Makefile\n create mode 100644 drivers/vdpa/ifc/base/ifcvf.c\n create mode 100644 drivers/vdpa/ifc/base/ifcvf.h\n create mode 100644 drivers/vdpa/ifc/base/ifcvf_osdep.h\n create mode 100644 drivers/vdpa/ifc/ifcvf_vdpa.c\n create mode 100644 drivers/vdpa/ifc/meson.build\n create mode 100644 drivers/vdpa/ifc/rte_pmd_ifc_version.map\n create mode 100644 drivers/vdpa/meson.build" }
