It needs to be bound to vfio-pci or pci-stub or else you can't use the group with the GPU at all. You don't necessarily need to assign it to the guest though. The problem suspected here would occur when the devices are bound back to the host drivers. You can easily just not do that if you're using a script, that's effectively what the libvirt instructions do. If you really just don't want to deal with a device at all, you can do a software hot unplug (echo 1> /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../remove). _______________________________________________ vfio-users mailing list vfio-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/vfio-users
