+============================
+Using ports vnic_type='vdpa'
+============================
+.. versionadded:: 23.0.0 (Wallaby)
+
+   Introduced support for vDPA.
+
+.. important::
+   The functionality described below is only supported by the
+   libvirt/KVM virt driver.
+
+The kernel vDPA (virtio Data Path Acceleration) framework
+provides a vendor independent framework for offloading data-plane
+processing to software or hardware virtio device backends.
+While the kernel vDPA framework supports many types of vDPA devices,
+at this time nova only support ``virtio-net`` devices
+using the ``vhost-vdpa`` front-end driver. Support for ``virtio-blk`` or
+``virtio-gpu`` may be added in the future but is not currently planned
+for any specific release.
+
+vDPA device tracking
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+When implementing support for vDPA based neutron ports one of the first
+decisions nova had to make was how to model the availability of vDPA devices
+and the capability to virtualize vDPA devices. As the initial use-case
+for this technology was to offload networking to hardware offload OVS via
+neutron ports the decision was made to extend the existing PCI tracker that
+is used for SR-IOV and pci-passthrough to support vDPA devices. As a result
+a simplification was made to assume that the parent device of a vDPA device
+is an SR-IOV Virtual Function (VF). As a result software only vDPA device such
+as those created by the kernel ``vdpa-sim`` sample module are not supported.
+
+To make vDPA device available to be scheduled to guests the operator should
+include the device using the PCI address or vendor ID and product ID of the
+parent VF in the PCI ``device_spec``.
+See: :nova-doc:`pci-passthrough <admin/pci-passthrough>` for details.
+
+Nova will not create the VFs or vDPA devices automatically. It is expected
+that the operator will allocate them before starting the nova-compute agent.
+While no specific mechanisms is prescribed to do this udev rules or systemd
+service files are generally the recommended approach to ensure the devices
+are created consistently across reboots.
+
+.. note::
+   As vDPA is an offload only for the data plane and not the control plane a
+   vDPA control plane is required to properly support vDPA device passthrough.
+   At the time of writing only hardware offloaded OVS is supported when using
+   vDPA with nova. Because of this vDPA devices cannot be requested using the
+   PCI alias. While nova could allow vDPA devices to be requested by the
+   flavor using a PCI alias we would not be able to correctly configure the
+   device as there would be no suitable control plane. For this reason vDPA
+   devices are currently only consumable via neutron ports.
+
+Virt driver support
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Supporting neutron ports with ``vnic_type=vdpa`` depends on the capability
+of the virt driver. At this time only the ``libvirt`` virt driver with KVM
+is fully supported. QEMU may also work but is untested.
+
+vDPA support depends on kernel 5.7+, Libvirt 6.9.0+ and QEMU 5.1+.
+
+vDPA lifecycle operations
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+At this time vDPA ports can only be added to a VM when it is first created.
+To do this the normal SR-IOV workflow is used where by the port is first created
+in neutron and passed into nova as part of the server create request.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   openstack port create --network <my network> --vnic-type vdpa vdpa-port
+   openstack server create --flavor <my-flavor> --image <my-image> --port <vdpa-port uuid> vdpa-vm
+
+When vDPA support was first introduced no move operations were supported.
+As this documentation was added in the change that enabled some move operations
+The following should be interpreted both as a retrospective and future looking
+viewpoint and treated as a living document which will be updated as functionality evolves.
+
+23.0.0: initial support is added for creating a VM with vDPA ports, move operations
+are blocked in the API but implemented in code.
+26.0.0: support for all move operation except live migration is tested and api blocks are removed.
+25.x.y: (planned) api block removal backported to stable/Yoga
+24.x.y: (planned) api block removal backported to stable/Xena
+23.x.y: (planned) api block removal backported to stable/wallaby
+26.0.0: (in progress) interface attach/detach, suspend/resume and hot plug live migration
+are implemented to fully support all lifecycle operations on instances with vDPA ports.
+
+.. note::
+   The ``(planned)`` and ``(in progress)`` qualifiers will be removed when those items are
+   completed. If your current version of the document contains those qualifiers then those
+   lifecycle operations are unsupported.

+    When vDPA was first introduced move operations were implemented in the code
+    but untested either in a real environment or in functional tests. Due to
+    this gap nova elected to block move operations for instance with vDPA
+    devices. All move operations except for live migration have now been tested
+    and found to indeed work so the API blocks have now been removed and
+    functional tests introduced. Other operations such as suspend and
+    live migration require code changes to support and will be enabled as new
+    features in the future.
