Abstract:
In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a method may include receiving an input/output command from an application executing on a virtual machine of a hypervisor, wherein the hypervisor executes on a processor subsystem, determining if the input/output command meets a predefined criteria for trapping the input/output command, and responsive to determining that the input/output command meets a predefined criteria for trapping the input/output command, bypassing a storage stack of the hypervisor by passing the input/output command to an endpoint of an accelerator device assigned for access to the hypervisor.
