PCI devices on s390x |
|||
==================== |
|||
|
|||
PCI devices on s390x work differently than on other architectures and need to |
|||
be configured in a slightly different way. |
|||
|
|||
Every PCI device is linked with an additional ``zpci`` device. |
|||
While the ``zpci`` device will be autogenerated if not specified, it is |
|||
recommended to specify it explicitly so that you can pass s390-specific |
|||
PCI configuration. |
|||
|
|||
For example, in order to pass a PCI device ``0000:00:00.0`` through to the |
|||
guest, you would specify:: |
|||
|
|||
qemu-system-s390x ... \ |
|||
-device zpci,uid=1,fid=0,target=hostdev0,id=zpci1 \ |
|||
-device vfio-pci,host=0000:00:00.0,id=hostdev0 |
|||
|
|||
Here, the zpci device is joined with the PCI device via the ``target`` property. |
|||
|
|||
Note that we don't set bus, slot or function here for the guest as is common in |
|||
other PCI implementations. Topology information is not available on s390x, and |
|||
the guest will not see any of the bus, slot or function information specified |
|||
on the command line. |
|||
|
|||
Instead, ``uid`` and ``fid`` determine how the device is presented to the guest |
|||
operating system. |
|||
|
|||
In case of Linux, ``uid`` will be used in the ``domain`` part of the PCI |
|||
identifier, and ``fid`` identifies the physical slot, i.e.:: |
|||
|
|||
qemu-system-s390x ... \ |
|||
-device zpci,uid=7,fid=8,target=hostdev0,id=zpci1 \ |
|||
... |
|||
|
|||
will be presented in the guest as:: |
|||
|
|||
# lspci -v |
|||
0007:00:00.0 ... |
|||
Physical Slot: 00000008 |
|||
... |
