We were testing the changes for our VF devices and noticed an issue when starting VMs with passthrough VFs. We then moved back to mainline kernel and reproduced the issue on 6.0-rc2 We noticed that the startup of the KVM hangs. Steps to reproduce: Create a VF from the PF interface. Configure VM XML with the VF PCI. Start the KVM. To isolate the issue we moved back to kernel 5.19 and it was working fine.
