Subject: [PATCH 0/3] PCI: Expose resource resizing through sysfs
Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2022 13:39:50 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <166067824399.1885802.12557332818208187324.stgit@omen> (raw)
We have a couple graphics drivers making use of PCIe Resizable BARs
now, but I've been trying to figure out how we can make use of such
features for devices assigned to a VM. This is a proposal for a
rather basic interface in sysfs such that we have the ability to
pre-enable larger BARs before we bind devices to vfio-pci and
attach them to a VM.
Along the way I found a double-free in the error path of creating
resource attributes, that can certainly be pulled separately (1/).
I'm using an RTX6000 for testing, which unexpectedly only supports
REBAR with smaller than default sizes, which led me to question
why we have such heavy requirements for shrinking resources (2/).
The final patch proposes the sysfs interface and I'll leave the
discussion there for whether this is a good approach. Thanks,
Alex
