ABSTRACT:
Mechanisms for migration stateless virtual functions from one virtual plane to another are provided. When a migration of a source virtual function to a destination virtual function in another virtual plane is to be performed, a source single root PCI manager (SR-PCIM) is first interrupted by a multiple root PCI manager (MR-PCIM). Configuration information that defines the source virtual function is then redefined on the destination virtual function for this stateless migration. A function level reset may then be performed on the source virtual function. The destination SR-PCIM may be interrupted by the MR-PCIM with an interrupt for the destination virtual function. A function level reset may then be performed on the destination virtual function. The destination virtual function state may then be changed to an “active” state such that the migrated virtual function begins processing transactions.
