Abstract

See full text

A method, computer program product, and distributed data processing system that allows a single physical I/O adapter to validate that a memory mapped I/O address referenced by an incoming I/O operation is associated with a virtual host that initiated the incoming memory mapped I/O operation is provided. Specifically, the present invention is directed to a mechanism for sharing a PCI family I/O adapter and, in general, any I/O adapter that uses a memory mapped I/O interface for communications. A mechanism is provided that allows a single physical I/O adapter to validate that a memory mapped I/O address referenced by an incoming memory mapped I/O operation used to initiate an I/O transaction is associated with a virtual host that initiated the incoming memory mapped I/O operation.
