You have been subscribed to a public bug: 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: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Taco Screen team (taco-screen-team) Status: New ** Tags: architecture-ppc64 bot-comment bugnameltc-134639 severity-high targetmilestone-inin1604 -- [Ubuntu 16.04] SR-IOV optimized vNIC (new device driver for POWER8) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1532303 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
