摘要： A method, apparatus, and computer program product are disclosed in a data processing system for migrating data pages subject to DMA access by temporarily disabling selected DMA operations within a physical I/O adapter. A determination is made as to whether to disable data access DMA capabilities of the physical I/O adapter. An operating mode of the physical I/O adapter is set to a particular mode utilizing a mode bit according to the determination of whether to disable data access DMA capabilities. Only data access DMA capabilities of the physical I/O adapter are disabled when the mode bit is set. Administrative services operations continue to be performed by the physical I/O adapter when the data access DMA capabilities of the physical I/O adapter are disabled.

摘要： A method for directly sharing a network stack offload I/O adapter that directly supports resource virtualization and does not require a LPAR manager or other intermediary to be invoked on every I/O transaction is provided. The present invention also provides a method, computer program product, and distributed data processing system for directly creating and initializing one or more virtual resources that reside within a physical adapter, such as a PCI, PCI-X, or PCI-E adapter, and that are associated with a virtual host. Specifically, the present invention is directed to a mechanism for sharing conventional PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) I/O adapters, PCI-X I/O adapters, PCI-Express I/O adapters, and, in general, any I/O adapter that uses a memory mapped I/O interface for host to adapter communications. A mechanism is provided for directly creating and initializing one or more virtual resources that reside within a physical adapter, such as a PCI, PCI-X, or PCI-E adapter, and that are associated with a virtual host.

摘要： A method, computer program product, and distributed data processing system that allows a single physical I/O adapter, such as a PCI, PCI-X, or PCI-E adapter, to track performance and reliability statistics per virtual upstream and downstream port, thereby allowing a system and network management to be performed at finer granularity than what is possible using conventional physical port statistics, is provided. Particularly, a mechanism of managing per-virtual port performance metrics in a logically partitioned data processing system including allocating a subset of resources of a physical adapter to a virtual adapter of a plurality of virtual adapters is provided. The subset of resources includes a virtual port having an identifier assigned thereto. The identifier of the virtual port is associated with an address of a physical port. A metric table is associated with the virtual port, wherein the metric table includes metrics of operations that target the virtual port.

摘要： A method, computer program product, and distributed data processing system that allows a single physical I/O adapter, such as a PCI, PCI-X, or PCI-E adapter, to validate that a direct memory access address referenced by an incoming I/O transaction that was initiated through a memory mapped I/O operation are associated with a virtual adapter or virtual resource that is referenced by the incoming memory mapped I/O operation is provided. Specifically, the present invention is directed to a mechanism for sharing conventional PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) I/O adapters, PCI-X I/O Adapters, PCI-Express I/O Adapters, and, in general, any I/O adapter that uses a memory mapped I/O interface for communications. A single physical I/O adapter validates that one or more direct memory access addresses referenced by an incoming I/O transaction initiated through a memory mapped I/O operation are associated with a virtual adapter or virtual resource that is referenced by the incoming memory mapped I/O operation.

摘要： A method, computer program product, and distributed data processing system that enables host software or firmware to map PCI adapter virtual resources to PCI bus addresses that are associated with a system image is provided. Virtual addresses maintained in a protection table segment assigned to a system image are mapped to physical addresses defined in entries of an address table segment assigned to the system image. Discontiguous memory regions identified in entries of the address table segment may thus be mapped to a contiguous virtual address space.

摘要： A resource and partition manager virtualizes interrupts without using any additional hardware in a way that does not disturb the interrupt processing model of operating systems running on a logical partition. In other words, the resource and partition manager supports virtual interrupts in a logically partitioned computer system that may include share processors with no changes to a logical partition's operating system. A set of virtual interrupt registers is created for each virtual processor in the system. The resource and partition manager uses the virtual interrupt registers to process interrupts for the corresponding virtual processor. In this manner, from the point of view of the operating system, the interrupt processing when the operating system is running in a logical partition that may contain shared processors and virtual interrupts is no different that the interrupt processing when the operating system is running in computer system that only contains dedicated processor partitions.
