Compilation options
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-These options can be modified in the ``.config`` file.
-
-- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_MLX5_VDPA_PMD`` (default **n**)
-
- Toggle compilation of librte_pmd_mlx5 itself.
-
-- ``CONFIG_RTE_IBVERBS_LINK_DLOPEN`` (default **n**)
-
- Build PMD with additional code to make it loadable without hard
- dependencies on **libibverbs** nor **libmlx5**, which may not be installed
- on the target system.
-
- In this mode, their presence is still required for it to run properly,
- however their absence won't prevent a DPDK application from starting (with
- ``CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB`` disabled) and they won't show up as
- missing with ``ldd(1)``.
-
- It works by moving these dependencies to a purpose-built rdma-core "glue"
- plug-in which must either be installed in a directory whose name is based
- on ``CONFIG_RTE_EAL_PMD_PATH`` suffixed with ``-glue`` if set, or in a
- standard location for the dynamic linker (e.g. ``/lib``) if left to the
- default empty string (``""``).
-
- This option has no performance impact.
-
-- ``CONFIG_RTE_IBVERBS_LINK_STATIC`` (default **n**)
-
- Embed static flavor of the dependencies **libibverbs** and **libmlx5**
- in the PMD shared library or the executable static binary.
-
.. note::
- For BlueField, target should be set to ``arm64-bluefield-linux-gcc``. This
- will enable ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_MLX5_VDPA_PMD`` and set
- ``RTE_CACHE_LINE_SIZE`` to 64. Default armv8a configuration of make build and
- meson build set it to 128 then brings performance degradation.
