I have a similar case with QEMU ARM64's VM: so vDEVICE on ARM is
allocated at runtime as well because the BDF number isn't ready
at the boot time.
Oh that's ugly then.. So you'll need to add some kind of 'modify
sid/bdf' operation I think.
But the initial vDEVICE would be still unusable. Its BDF number is
literally 0 in my case. It can't be used for SID-based invalidation
nor the reverse vSID lookup for fault injection..
The bus numbers can be reassigned at any time on the fly by the guest
by reprogramming the PCI hierarchy.
Yes. If we take some aggressive use case into account, where its
BDF number could change multiple times, I think it's natural for
VMM to simply destroy the previous vDEVICE and allocate a new one
with a new BDF number, right?
Yup, this sounds about right, recreate on the bus number change.
Thanks
