[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 13/16] Removed PCI ID table from igb_uio

[Burakov, Anatoly]

Hi Thomas,

> I wonder if we could replace igb_uio by uio_pci_generic?

Can it do DMA or IOMMU support? Not even VFIO does everything we need, you may have noticed that I have to go to PCI config space to enable bus mastering. I don't think that driver can do either of those things. Unless, of course, you meant simply not tying the binding script to specific driver, which in effect is already in place (although it does check whether vfio-pci or igb_uio are loaded).
