Public bug reported: This new device driver enables high performance virtual networking which combines the isolation, QoS, and shared resources benefits of SR-IOV with the Live LPAR Mobility capabilities of a virtual adapter. The SR- IOV VF will be attached to the VIOS partition and mapped directly to the Linux client for exclusive use; this is the device driver for this new virtual adapter.
This is the kernel part for this feature request. The ibmvnic driver has recently been included in David Miller's net-next tree. It should be included in Linux 4.5. git commit : http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/davem/net- next.git/commit/?id=032c5e82847a2214c3196a90f0aeba0ce252de58 This is a feature request to include this new driver in Ubuntu 16.04. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Assignee: Taco Screen team (taco-screen-team) Status: New ** Tags: architecture-ppc64 bugnameltc-134639 severity-high targetmilestone-inin1604 ** Tags added: architecture-ppc64 bugnameltc-134639 severity-high targetmilestone-inin1604 ** Changed in: ubuntu Assignee: (unassigned) => Taco Screen team (taco-screen-team) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1532303 Title: [Ubuntu 16.04] SR-IOV optimized vNIC (new device driver for POWER8) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1532303/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
