SR-IOV support in Storport driver

Hi, ALL

If the raid controller supports SR-IOV, does storport supports VFs?
Do i need to add special codes in the miniport driver to enable the VFs?

Best regards,
David Zeng

WIdows only supports SRIOV for network adapters.

Is that means the raid controller with SR-IOV cannot be used under Windows
currently?

The controller definitely CAN be used, but SR-IOV feature will not be used.

I guess there is not much gain of that, because HBAs can run DMA to memory that belong to the VM, anyway. It’s just a bit of cost of passing CDBs from a VM to HyperV.
