VirtIo-Net PCIe Function Using Linux PCI Endpoint Framework - Lecture

Explore the design and implementation of a virtio-net device using the Linux PCI Endpoint framework in this 41-minute conference talk. Delve into the architecture and current status of the proposed virtio-net PCI function driver, which enables the Linux kernel to act as a PCI Endpoint device. Learn about the para-virtualization framework Virtio and its role in improving device I/O operations efficiency in virtualized environments. Discover how software can describe PCIe function behavior and emulate device behavior for efficient data transfers. Gain insights into the API for controlling virtio virtqueues used for data transfer, which can be applied to implement PCI Endpoint devices for other virtio devices.
