[PATCH v2 00/10] selftests/vfio: igb: Add driver for Intel

[Josh Hilke]

This is v2 of a series which adds VFIO selftest driver for the Intel
82576 Ethernet Gigabit Controller (IGB). This device is emulated in QEMU
and is also ubiquitous on many systems which makes it a good candidate
device for running VFIO selftests.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20260511211839.2781731-1-jrhilke@xxxxxxxxxx/

Major changes in v2
===================
1. Patches 2 through 9 add Alex Williamson's series which adds support
for the physical device since v1 only supported the QEMU-emulated
device. 

https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20260515220330.565792-1-alex.williamson@xxxxxxxxxx/

2. Patch 10 adds the official IGB header files to the driver, which
eliminates duplicate register definitions.

Testing
=======
- VFIO selftests builds clean at every commit
- vfio_pci_driver_test passes using IGB driver + QEMU. Use the following
  VNG command to run the tests:

  vng \
  --run arch/x86/boot/bzImage \
  --user root \
  --disable-microvm \
  --memory 32G \
  --cpus 8 \
  --qemu-opts="-M q35,accel=kvm,kernel-irqchip=split" \
  --qemu-opts="-device intel-iommu,intremap=on,caching-mode=on,device-iotlb=on" \
  --qemu-opts="-netdev user,id=net0 -device igb,netdev=net0,addr=09.0" \
  --append "console=ttyS0 earlyprintk=ttyS0 intel_iommu=on iommu=pt" \
  --exec "modprobe vfio-pci && \
          ./tools/testing/selftests/vfio/scripts/setup.sh 0000:00:09.0 && \
          ./tools/testing/selftests/vfio/scripts/run.sh ./tools/testing/selftests/vfio/vfio_pci_driver_test"

Future work
===========
Modify QEMU's implementation of IGB loopback data transfer to be
asynchronous. Alex noted that QEMU's emulation of transmitting data in
loopback mode is synchronous, i.e by the time memcpy_start() returns,
the data is already in the Rx queue. This won't work for testing
continuous DMA (memcpy) across Live Update + kexec.

One solution is to simulate the line rate in QEMU. This would allow us
to slow down the rate of DMA, so that it continues for the duration of
Live Update.

Assistance
==========
- Claude Opus 4.7 with additional assistance from GPT 5.5 for Alex's
  patches
- Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview for my patches
