Subject: [PATCH v2] vfio: selftests: Remove libuuid dependency
Date: Mon,  2 Nov 2026 20:06:24 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102200624.1570562-1-skhawaja@google.com> (raw)

Libvfio depends on an external dependency libuuid for parsing vf_tokens.
Building it in cross compilation environments gives the following error,

 ld: cannot find -luuid: No such file or directory

It also complicates building with glibc alternatives like musl, see
https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/c2f7e904-2646-4b01-864d-d185221c7f56@gmail.com/

As it is only used for parsing vf_tokens, remove the dependency by
adding a minimal uuid_t and uuid_parse() to libvfio.

Tested by running vfio_pci_sriov_uapi_test selftest.

v2:
- Move the parser to lib/uuid.c and lib/include/libvfio/uuid.h (David)
- Drop the vfio_ prefixes and add a uuid_t (David)
- Mention musl in the commit message (David)

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260925013110.3447626-1-skhawaja@google.com/
