Subject: [PATCH v5 14/27] vfio/pci: Provide an opt-out for the CXL Type-2 extensions
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 00:05:27 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260916183540.3813685-15-mhonap@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260916183540.3813685-1-mhonap@nvidia.com>
From: Manish Honap <mhonap@nvidia.com>
Let an admin or a variant driver keep the CXL Type-2 extensions out of
the path and drive the device as plain vfio-pci. Add a
vfio_pci.disable_cxl module parameter, and let a variant driver set
vdev->disable_cxl in its own init callback for per-device control. The
parameter is built only when the CXL provider is configured.
Assisted-by: LLM
