Re: [PATCH 2/2] virpci: support driver_override sysfs interface

Currently, libvirt uses the new_id PCI sysfs interface to bind a PCI
stub driver to a PCI device. The new_id interface is known to be
buggy and racey, hence a more deterministic interface was introduced
in the 3.12 kernel - driver_override. For more details see

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-June/msg02124.html

This patch changes the stub binding/unbinding code to use the
driver_override interface if present. If not present, the new_id
interface will be used to provide compatibility with older kernels
lacking driver_override.

For unbinding the stub, you're just adding in the "clearing" of driver_override, without eliminating any of the other stuff that's done for the older deprecated method. If the driver_override file exists, you shouldn't do *any* of the old operations, just do what is described in the commit log message of the patch that added driver_override to the kernel:

  https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2014-May/msg00670.html

I'll review the rest of it based on what ends up in the code rather than the diffs, since the diffs will be messed up when you get rid of patch 1/2...

What is this "new_slot" stuff all about? Are you certain that it's still needed when using driver_override, or is it just some lore from the old method that isn't needed anymore? (I'm unable to test this because I don't have a host with Xen). The only things that should be needed are:

 1) write the stub driver name to driver_override
 2) write the device's PCI address to driver/unbind
 3) write the device's PCI address to /sys/bus/pci/drivers_probe.

(As a matter of fact, it's exactly the same operation as when binding back to the host driver, just the string written to driver_override changes, so there should probably be a common routine that takes the driver name as an argument - maybe just add driverName to this function and rename it?).

Yep, this is the way it should be handled for UnbindFromStub as well.
