This looks like it'll create a mess with either virtio pci
or vdpa being loaded at random. Maybe just don't specify
any IDs for now. Down the road we could get a
distinct vendor ID or a range of device IDs for this.
Right, will do.

Thanks
Rethink about this. If we don't specify any ID, the binding won't work.
We can bind manually. It's not really for production anyway, so
not a big deal imho.

I think you mean doing it via "new_id", right.
I really meant driver_override. This is what people have been using
with pci-stub for years now.


Do you want me to implement "driver_overrid" in this series, or a NULL id_table is sufficient?



How about using a dedicated subsystem vendor id for this?

Thanks
If virtio vendor id is used then standard driver is expected
to bind, right? Maybe use a dedicated vendor id?

I meant something like:

static const struct pci_device_id vp_vdpa_id_table[] = {
ÂÂÂ { PCI_DEVICE_SUB(PCI_VENDOR_ID_REDHAT_QUMRANET, PCI_ANY_ID,
VP_TEST_VENDOR_ID, VP_TEST_DEVICE_ID) },
ÂÂÂ { 0 }
};

Thanks

Then regular virtio will still bind to it. It has

drivers/virtio/virtio_pci_common.c: { PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_REDHAT_QUMRANET, PCI_ANY_ID) },



IFCVF use this to avoid the binding to regular virtio device. Looking at pci_match_one_device() it checks both subvendor and subdevice there.

Thanks
