[PATCH] PCI: Always allow probing with driver_override

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Commit 0e7df22401a3 ("PCI: Add sysfs sriov_drivers_autoprobe to control
VF driver binding") introduced the sriov_drivers_autoprobe attribute
which allows users to prevent the kernel from automatically probing a
driver for new VFs as they are created.  This allows VFs to be spawned
without automatically binding the new device to a host driver, such as
in cases where the user intends to use the device only with a meta
driver like vfio-pci.  However, the current implementation prevents any
use of drivers_probe with the VF while sriov_drivers_autoprobe=0.  This
blocks the now current general practice of setting driver_override
followed by using drivers_probe to bind a device to a specified driver.

The kernel never automatically sets a driver_override therefore it seems
we can assume a driver_override reflects the intent of the user.  Also,
probing a device using a driver_override match seems outside the scope
of the 'auto' part of sriov_drivers_autoprobe.  Therefore, let's allow
driver_override matches regardless of sriov_drivers_autoprobe, which we
can do by simply testing if a driver_override is set for a device as a
'can probe' condition.
