Thanks, With cases such as vfio-pci, not having this flag set will disable sriov while a guest is using it resulting in a hung guest. I am unfamiliar if similar scenarios are applicable to other test cases. If the flag needs to be set, what's a better place then ? Or how does the PF driver decide not to disable sr-iov, should it be based on - as long as the device is bound to a driver ?
