Part 1 (which simply made it possible to use virsh nodedev-detach to
bind a device to a manually-specified variant driver, and at guest
runtime allowed libvirt to ignore the fact that the driver found to
the device was something other than exactly "vfio-pci") was here:
https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2023-August/241338.html
and pushed upstream as of commit v9.6.0-153-g24beaffec3
Part 2 adds two new pieces of functionality:
1) It is possible to manually specify a VFIO variant driver (or force
the generic vfio-pci driver) for a device in the domain XML with,
e.g.:
<driver name='mlx5_vfio_pci'/>
(for the former) or:
<driver name='vfio-pci'/>
(for the latter).
2) By default libvirt will now find the "best match" VFIO or VFIO
variant driver by comparing the device's modalias file contents (in
sysfs) with vfio drivers found in the running kernel's
modules.alias file. This means that "virsh nodedev-detach" of a
host device will bind it to its appropriate VFIO variant driver (if
one is available), and also if a <hostdev> decice in a domain
config has "managed='yes'", libvirt will bind it to a variant
driver if possible (in order to force binding to the basic vfio-pci
driver instead, you just need to add the <driver> element mentioned
above).
The first 12 patches are all just getting (1) going (a lot of it is
refactoring code to use common code for the four places that use the
hostdev <driver> element), and the final 3 patches implement (2).
More details are spread along the way.
Laine Stump (15):
util: properly deal with module vs. driver when binding device to
driver
schema: consolidate RNG for all hostdev <driver> elements
conf: move/rename hostdev PCI driver type enum to device_conf.h
conf: normalize hostdev <driver> parsing to simplify adding new attr
conf: put hostdev PCI backend into a struct
conf: use virDeviceHostdevPCIDriverInfo in network and networkport
objects
conf: split out hostdev <driver> parse/format to their own functions
conf: use new common parser/formatter for hostdev driver in network
XML
tests: remove explicit <driver name='vfio'/> from hostdev test cases
xen: explicitly set hostdev driver.type at runtime, not in postparse
conf: replace virHostdevIsVFIODevice with virHostdevIsPCIDevice
conf: support manually specifying VFIO variant driver in <hostdev> XML
util: new function virStringSkipToSpace()
util: new function virPCIDeviceFindBestVFIOVariant()
qemu: automatically bind to a vfio variant driver, if available
