* OvmfPkg/VirtioNetDxe: update TechNotesBrijesh Singh2017-09-141-7/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In next patches we will update Virtio transmit to use the device-mapped address of the caller-supplied packet. The patch documents the new model.

* OvmfPkg/VirtioNetDxe: alloc RxBuf using AllocateSharedPages()Brijesh Singh2017-09-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When device is behind the IOMMU, VirtioNetDxe is required to use the device address in bus master operations. RxBuf is allocated using AllocatePool() which returns the system physical address. The patch uses VIRTIO_DEVICE_PROTOCOL.AllocateSharedPages() to allocate the RxBuf and map with VirtioMapAllBytesInSharedBuffer() so that we can obtain the device address for RxBuf.

* OvmfPkg/VirtioNetDxe: map VRINGs using VirtioRingMap()Brijesh Singh2017-09-141-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When device is behind the IOMMU then driver need to pass the device address when programing the bus master. The patch uses VirtioRingMap() to map the VRING system physical address[es] to device address[es].
