Use efficiency of platform memory resources through firmware managed I/O translation table paging
Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed herein for paging I/O translation table entries. A host bridge of system hardware receives a request to fetch a first segment of an I/O translation table associated with one of a plurality of logical partitions executing in a computing system. The host bridge identifies a control register associated with the first segment. Upon determining that the first segment is paged out to the storage volume, a second segment is paged out from a location in memory to the storage volume. The first segment is paged in to the location.
