Subject: [PATCH 1/2] vfio/igd: Require host VGA decode for legacy mode
Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2025 00:09:05 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250723160906.44941-2-tomitamoeko@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250723160906.44941-1-tomitamoeko@gmail.com>
Commit a59d06305fff ("vfio/pci: Introduce x-pci-class-code option")
allows user to expose non-VGA IGD device as VGA controller to the
guest. However, legacy mode requires host VGA range access. Check
that GGC.IVD == 0 before enabling legacy mode to ensure IGD is a real
VGA device claiming host VGA ranges.
