Title:
[Ubuntu 16.04] SR-IOV optimized vNIC (new device driver for POWER8)
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
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.
