Source: linux Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
Using the kernel commandline option "pci-stub.ids=" is a very popular and easy way of preventing device drivers from attaching to devices that are meant to be assigned (PCI passthrough via Vt-d/IOMMU) to virtual machines. Currently Debian's default kernel images do not support this parameter because pci-stub has been configured as a module. Loading the module via /etc/modules or /etc/initramfs-tools/modules does not seem to guarantee that the pci-stub module gets loaded before other device drivers have a chance to snatch up the devices that need to be stubbed. I propose we change the default from CONFIG_PCI_STUB=m to CONFIG_PCI_STUB=y so that Debian can support the widely popular practice of specifying pci-stub.ids on the kernel commandline. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.17.0-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
