Bjorn, in the context of dealing with the final part of a long known security issue on Xen, I'd appreciate if you could help me understand under what conditions (or at which times) MMIO resources for PCI devices can get re-assigned in Linux. Or really I'm in need to know under what conditions there won't be any resource re-assignment (i.e. we particularly need the BARs to be stable that cover the MSI-X table and the Pending Bit Array). Right now I'm intending to send the hypervisor a respective notification in the context of xen-pciback's probe function, after having called pci_enable_device(). Can you confirm that at this point, and until the driver lets go of the device again, resources won't get re-assigned? Or if not, can you suggest a better point in time for sending such a notification, or additional steps we may need to take in order to ensure resource stability? Thanks a lot, Jan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pci" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
