[PATCH] uio/uio_pci_generic: Add SR-IOV support

From: David Woodhouse
Date: Wed Sep 27 2017 - 09:17:52 EST


From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Allow userspace to configure SR-IOV VFs through sysfs.

Currently, we need an in-kernel driver to permit this. But sometimes
*all* we want to do is enable the VFs so that we can assign them to
guests; we don't actually need to deal with the PF in any other way
from the host kernel. So let's make it possible to use UIO for that.

It's not entirely clear to me why we require the driver to "enable"
SR-IOV like this anyway â were there some which needed to do something
special and device-specific instead of just falling through to
pci_{en,dis}able_sriov(), such that we need to effectively whitelist
this in the driver rather than blacklisting the "problematic" ones via
PCI quirks?
