Virtlet is used to create a virtual machine to support some necessary features needed by ICN. In ICN use case we need IpSec to finish some functions. So using QAT devices to speed up the connections is important. But after tests, I found that virtlet doesn't recognize the qat vf device.
Gaps
- Virtlet considers all other devices bound vfio-pci drivers as a volume device and add them into libvritxml as block disk type with disk driver. This will caused vm startup errors.
- Virtlet binds the network devices after the creatition of libvirt domain file, and its default hostdev id number starts from 0, it will make conflict when we add other type device to libvirt domain file by pci-passthrough
- Virtlet can not recognize other sriov device
