PCI EXPANDER BRIDGE (PXB)
|
||||
=========================
|
||||
|
||||
Description
|
||||
===========
|
||||
PXB is a "light-weight" host bridge in the same PCI domain
|
||||
as the main host bridge whose purpose is to enable
|
||||
the main host bridge to support multiple PCI root buses.
|
||||
It is implemented only for i440fx and can be placed only
|
||||
on bus 0 (pci.0).
|
||||
|
||||
As opposed to PCI-2-PCI bridge's secondary bus, PXB's bus
|
||||
is a primary bus and can be associated with a NUMA node
|
||||
(different from the main host bridge) allowing the guest OS
|
||||
to recognize the proximity of a pass-through device to
|
||||
other resources as RAM and CPUs.
|
||||
|
||||
Usage
|
||||
=====
|
||||
A detailed command line would be:
|
||||
|
||||
[qemu-bin + storage options]
|
||||
-m 2G
|
||||
-object memory-backend-ram,size=1024M,policy=bind,host-nodes=0,id=ram-node0 -numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0,memdev=ram-node0
|
||||
-object memory-backend-ram,size=1024M,policy=bind,host-nodes=1,id=ram-node1 -numa node,nodeid=1,cpus=1,memdev=ram-node1
|
||||
-device pxb,id=bridge1,bus=pci.0,numa_node=1,bus_nr=4 -netdev user,id=nd-device e1000,bus=bridge1,addr=0x4,netdev=nd
|
||||
-device pxb,id=bridge2,bus=pci.0,numa_node=0,bus_nr=8,bus=pci.0 -device e1000,bus=bridge2,addr=0x3
|
||||
-device pxb,id=bridge3,bus=pci.0,bus_nr=40,bus=pci.0 -drive if=none,id=drive0,file=[img] -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive0,scsi=off,bus=bridge3,addr=1
|
||||
|
||||
Here you have:
|
||||
- 2 NUMA nodes for the guest, 0 and 1. (both mapped to the same NUMA node in host, but you can and should put it in different host NUMA nodes)
|
||||
- a pxb host bridge attached to NUMA 1 with an e1000 behind it
|
||||
- a pxb host bridge attached to NUMA 0 with an e1000 behind it
|
||||
- a pxb host bridge not attached to any NUMA with a hard drive behind it.
|
||||
|
||||
Limitations
|
||||
===========
|
||||
Please observe that we specified the bus "pci.0" for the second and third pxb.
|
||||
This is because when no bus is given, another pxb can be selected by QEMU as default bus,
|
||||
however, PXBs can be placed only under the root bus.
|
||||
|
||||
Implementation
|
||||
==============
|
||||
The PXB is composed by:
|
||||
- HostBridge (TYPE_PXB_HOST)
|
||||
The host bridge allows to register and query the PXB's rPCI root bus in QEMU.
|
||||
- PXBDev(TYPE_PXB_DEVICE)
|
||||
It is a regular PCI Device that resides on the piix host-bridge bus and its bus uses the same PCI domain.
|
||||
However, the bus behind is exposed through ACPI as a primary PCI bus and starts a new PCI hierarchy.
|
||||
The interrupts from devices behind the PXB are routed through this device the same as if it were a
|
||||
PCI-2-PCI bridge. The _PRT follows the i440fx model.
|
||||
- PCIBridgeDev(TYPE_PCI_BRIDGE_DEV)
|
||||
Created automatically as part of init sequence.
|
||||
When adding a device to PXB it is attached to the bridge for two reasons:
|
||||
- Using the bridge will enable hotplug support
|
||||
- All the devices behind the bridge will use bridge's IO/MEM windows compacting
|
||||
the PCI address space.
