yuk, no.
I have a set of patches almost done.
i'm tied up until Monday on RHEL6, then I'll switch gears& post a set of
patches.
hi Don - anything new about this incoming patch-series?
so that is your employer 'sinternal policy? for RHEL 6 kernel first,
then upstream kernel?
No, I have deadlines for RHEL6 for *other work* until Monday. After that,
I can re-focus on upstream work. Some of us actually have other work than
just upstream.... crazy talk, I know! ;-)
I should have the sysfs-level patches done & posted today.
Need another day or 2 to get a driver refactored to use it (ixgbe).
Although the patches will enable per-device sriov enablement/disablement,
further thought on tools that will stack on top of it, probably will need
to augment a new pci sysfs directory that tools can find sriov devices
quicker/easier w/o traversing the entire /sys/bus/pci/devices tree
searching for a 'sriov_max_vfs' file, but, I can do that as a follow-on patch.
I'm thinking of what is done now with virtfn<X> linked files in the pf,
but the inverse link in a directory, like /sys/bus/pci/sriov.
Then there's the additional patches needed to do an 'all', or <DOMAIN:B:D.F>
qualified enable/disable from a per-sysfs-driver perspective. ... fun stuff!
