Subject: [PATCH 36/40] nitro_enclaves: Add NE_ENCLAVE_PCIE_HOTPLUG_MODE
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 22:59:40 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <61b67a9c8353ce6ad1deddd9bf870e5118dcc313.1794393491.git.graf@amazon.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1794300002.git.graf@amazon.com>
Users want to add devices to a Nitro Sandbox while it runs. The
hypervisor supports that for a slot it sets up for it when it allocates
the slot.
Add NE_ENCLAVE_PCIE_HOTPLUG_MODE, which asks for such a slot, and let
NE_ADD_DEVICE take a device in the running state for a slot that carries
the flag.
