10884.47 KVM_ASSIGN_PCI_DEVICE
1089
1090Capability: KVM_CAP_DEVICE_ASSIGNMENT
1091Architectures: x86 ia64
1092Type: vm ioctl
1093Parameters: struct kvm_assigned_pci_dev (in)
1094Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error
1095
1096Assigns a host PCI device to the VM.
1097
1098struct kvm_assigned_pci_dev {
1099 __u32 assigned_dev_id;
1100 __u32 busnr;
1101 __u32 devfn;

1103 __u32 segnr;
1104 union {
1105 __u32 reserved[11];
1106 };
1107};
1108
1109The PCI device is specified by the triple segnr, busnr, and devfn.
1110Identification in succeeding service requests is done via assigned_dev_id. The
1111following flags are specified:
1112
1113/* Depends on KVM_CAP_IOMMU */
1114#define KVM_DEV_ASSIGN_ENABLE_IOMMU (1 << 0)
1115
11164.48 KVM_DEASSIGN_PCI_DEVICE
1117
1118Capability: KVM_CAP_DEVICE_DEASSIGNMENT

1120Type: vm ioctl
1121Parameters: struct kvm_assigned_pci_dev (in)
1122Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error
1123
1124Ends PCI device assignment, releasing all associated resources.
1125
1126See KVM_CAP_DEVICE_ASSIGNMENT for the data structure. Only assigned_dev_id is
1127used in kvm_assigned_pci_dev to identify the device.
1128
11294.49 KVM_ASSIGN_DEV_IRQ
1130
1131Capability: KVM_CAP_ASSIGN_DEV_IRQ
1132Architectures: x86 ia64
1133Type: vm ioctl
1134Parameters: struct kvm_assigned_irq (in)
1135Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error
1136
1137Assigns an IRQ to a passed-through device.
1138
1139struct kvm_assigned_irq {
1140 __u32 assigned_dev_id;
1141 __u32 host_irq;

1148 __u32 data;
1149 } guest_msi;
1150 __u32 reserved[12];
1151 };
1152};
1153
1154The following flags are defined:
1155
1156#define KVM_DEV_IRQ_HOST_INTX (1 << 0)
1157#define KVM_DEV_IRQ_HOST_MSI (1 << 1)
1158#define KVM_DEV_IRQ_HOST_MSIX (1 << 2)

1161#define KVM_DEV_IRQ_GUEST_MSI (1 << 9)
1162#define KVM_DEV_IRQ_GUEST_MSIX (1 << 10)
1163
1164It is not valid to specify multiple types per host or guest IRQ. However, the
1165IRQ type of host and guest can differ or can even be null.

1169Capability: KVM_CAP_ASSIGN_DEV_IRQ

1172Parameters: struct kvm_assigned_irq (in)
1173Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error
1174
1175Ends an IRQ assignment to a passed-through device.
1176
1177See KVM_ASSIGN_DEV_IRQ for the data structure. The target device is specified
1178by assigned_dev_id, flags must correspond to the IRQ type specified on
1179KVM_ASSIGN_DEV_IRQ. Partial deassignment of host or guest IRQ is allowed.
