hi
I'm not sure, but is it possible for pci_enable_pasid() and
pci_disable_pasid() to do the same thing as pdev->driver->sriov_configure,
e.g. pci_sriov_configure_simple() below.
It checks whether there are VFs are assigned in pci_vfs_assigned(dev).
and we can set the VF in assigned status if vfio_pci_open() is performed
on the VF.
int pci_sriov_configure_simple(struct pci_dev *dev, int nr_virtfn)
{
int rc;
might_sleep();
if (!dev->is_physfn)
return -ENODEV;
if (pci_vfs_assigned(dev)) {
pci_warn(dev, "Cannot modify SR-IOV while VFs are assigned\n");
return -EPERM;
}
if (nr_virtfn == 0) {
sriov_disable(dev);
return 0;
}
rc = sriov_enable(dev, nr_virtfn);
if (rc < 0)
return rc;
return nr_virtfn;
}
Thanks
