Subject: [PATCH] vfio: Set container device mode
Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2013 16:21:24 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130430222108.31600.19391.stgit@bling.home> (raw)
Minor 0 is the VFIO container device (/dev/vfio/vfio). On it's own
the container does not provide a user with any privileged access. It
only supports API version check and extension check ioctls. Only by
attaching a VFIO group to the container does it gain any access. Set
the mode of the container to allow access.
