Expose port function commands to enable / disable migratable
capability, this is used to set the port function as migratable.
Live migration is the process of transferring a live virtual machine
from one physical host to another without disrupting its normal
operation.
In order for a VM to be able to perform LM, all the VM components must
be able to perform migration. e.g.: to be migratable.
In order for VF to be migratable, VF must be bound to VFIO driver with
migration support.
When migratable capability is enabled for a function of the port, the
device is making the necessary preparations for the function to be
migratable, which might include disabling features which cannot be
migrated.
Example of LM with migratable function configuration:
Set migratable of the VF's port function.
$ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/2
pci/0000:06:00.0/2: type eth netdev enp6s0pf0vf1 flavour pcivf pfnum 0
vfnum 1
function:
hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 migratable disable
$ devlink port function set pci/0000:06:00.0/2 migratable enable
$ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/2
pci/0000:06:00.0/2: type eth netdev enp6s0pf0vf1 flavour pcivf pfnum 0
vfnum 1
function:
hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 migratable enable
Bind VF to VFIO driver with migration support:
$ echo <pci_id> > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:08:00.0/driver/unbind
$ echo mlx5_vfio_pci > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:08:00.0/driver_override
$ echo <pci_id> > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:08:00.0/driver/bind
Attach VF to the VM.
Start the VM.
Perform LM.
