[NetDev-People] 0x13: V-switch Live-migration Support For Virtio With SRIOV VF Datapath

NutsBolts Talk.

As of kernel 4.18 the virtio guest driver uses the SRIOV VF channel when it can or otherwise falls back to the classical the para-virtual channel. With this setup live-migration of VMs running under SRIOV is possible.

Or Gerlitz and Parav Pandit handle the v-switch host side of the equation for live-migration. They propose a design based on the switchdev mode for NIC host drivers.
