virtio_ring currently sends the device (usually a hypervisor) physical addresses of its I/O buffers. This is okay when DMA addresses and physical addresses are the same thing, but this isn't always the case. For example, this never works on Xen guests, and it is likely to fail if a physical "virtio" device ever ends up behind an IOMMU or swiotlb. The immediate use case for me is to enable virtio on Xen guests. For that to work, we need vring to support DMA address translation as well as a corresponding change to virtio_pci or to another driver.

---help---
|
|
This driver provides support for virtio based paravirtual device
|
|
drivers over PCI. This requires that your VMM has appropriate PCI
|
|
virtio backends. Most QEMU based VMMs should support these devices
|
|
(like KVM or Xen).

|
|
Virtio PCI Card 0.9.X Draft (circa 2014) and older device support.
|
|
|
|
This option enables building a transitional driver, supporting
|
|
both devices conforming to Virtio 1 specification, and legacy devices.
|
|
If disabled, you get a slightly smaller, non-transitional driver,
|
|
with no legacy compatibility.
|
|
|
|
So look out into your driveway. Do you have a flying car? If
|
|
so, you can happily disable this option and virtio will not
|
|
break. Otherwise, leave it set. Unless you're testing what
|
|
life will be like in The Future.
