Upcoming Events
VFIO/IOMMU/PCI Microconference Accepted into LPC
There will be a VFIO/IOMMU/PCI microconference at Linux Plumbers Conference, which takes place September 13-15 in Los Angeles, CA. "The agenda this year will focus on overlap and common development between VFIO/IOMMU/PCI subsystems, and in particular how consolidation of the shared virtual memory(SVM) API can drive an even tighter coupling between them. This year we will also focus on user visible aspects such as using SVM to share page tables with devices and reporting I/O page faults to userspace in addition to discussing PCI and IOMMU interfaces and potential improvements."
