I think you mean loading KMS multiple times by “reuse”.
No, as far as I know the fb emulation can be initialized multiple times
without driver reload.
I can’t see a case that fb_probe is invoked out of loading KMS, is there?
I'm not so deeply into this, but I knew that you can certainly unbind
Hi Christian,
I think you mean loading KMS multiple times by “reuse”. At every time loading
KMS, guest driver tells the host to clear FB during early init. I can’t see a
case that fb_probe is invoked out of loading KMS, is there?
Anyway I understand we don’t want to have many SRIOV conditional
Thank you for the clarification, I get it.

Hi Christian,
The underlying host driver clears VF’s framebuffer when guest driver shake
hands with it, that is done before guest driver init. I think it’s unnecessary
to clear FB again even with GPU for VF.

Hi Pixel,
you don't seem to understand the reason for the clear here.
It is completely irrelevant that the host is clearing the memory for the
guest, the problem is that the guest reuse the memory it got assigned
from the host multiple times.
IIRC we added this because you could see leftover

The SRIOV host driver cleans framebuffer for each VF, guest driver
needn't this action which costs much time on some virtualization
platform, otherwise it might get timeout to initialize.
