<a href="http://summit.openstack.org/cfp/details/81">http://summit.openstack.org/cfp/details/81</a> (the Quantum side of things if you're mapping network devices)<br>
<br>
... and I know Mellanox have also been working on that particular side of things too. Perhaps we could all get together at the summit before the sessions for a show and tell? We could equally work it all out in the sessions, but it seems it would be hard
to lead a session like that without having some knowledge up front of what other people have done.<o:p></o:p></p>

To be fair, our code is basically Vladimir Popovski's (Zardara Storage's) work, tidied up and with a scheduler check to make sure there are actually available SRIOV functions on the node before scheduling. It's there, it's actually a patch against Folsom at
the moment, and it works, but I wouldn't lay claim to it necessarily being the One True Way to implement this (and I don't think it has tests enough to pass a review).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">This is (at least) the second instance that I've heard of where PCI<br>
passthrough has been implemented, but code hasn't surfaced yet. It's<br>
really unfortunate to see the duplication of effort happening.<br>

Chuck Short also proposed a design summit session on it, presumably to<br>
discuss implementing it yet another time:<br>

It would be really nice to get some code out in the open for this. :-)<br>
