Linux kernel modifications for the Kernel Hacking exam
db04264fe9
The SR-IOV spec requires that VFs must report zero for the INTx pin register as VFs are precluded from INTx support. It's much easier for the host kernel to understand whether a device is a VF and therefore whether a non-zero pin register value is bogus than it is to do the same in userspace. Override the INTx count for such devices and virtualize the pin register to provide a consistent view of the device to the user. As this is clearly a spec violation, warn about it to support hardware validation, but also provide a known whitelist as it doesn't do much good to continue complaining if the hardware vendor doesn't plan to fix it. Known devices with this issue: 8086:270c Tested-by: Gage Eads <gage.eads@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Ashok Raj <ashok.raj@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com> |

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
