Subject: [PATCH v2 0/1] vfio/pci: Give drivers control of PCI driver_data
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 07:36:40 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930143641.4160785-1-xinmengs@nvidia.com> (raw)

Hi All,

During the discussion of the proposed Rust NVIDIA vGPU VFIO variant
driver [1], Danilo mentioned that vfio-pci-core requires pci driver_data
to point to vfio_pci_core_device, this conflicts with driver data
managed by proposed nvidia vfio variant driver.

This patch moves the responsibility for interpreting driver_data to the
pci driver, the vfio core functions (PM, AER, VGA) takes an explicit
vfio_pci_core_device pointer and no longer depend on pci driver_data

VFIO_PCI_CORE_DEFINE_CALLBACK marcos generate the wrappers for existing
vfio variant drivers, each driver also assigns its own PM ops table to
replace the operation done by vfio-pci-core during registration.

For VGA, drivers provide its decode callback to
vfio_pci_core_register_device, VGA setup/teardown remains inside vfio
core registration/unregistration, this preserves vga initialize
sequence and also remove the core dependacy on driver data.
