[PATCH v4 0/1] Rust PCI capability infrastructure and SR-IOV support
From: Zhi Wang
Date: Tue Jul 14 2026 - 12:59:17 EST
This is a follow-up to v3 [1], reworked to address Alexandre Courbot's
review [2] and the VF BAR API follow-up [3]. This version is based on
the latest driver-core-next.
This patch has been used in the Boot GSP with vGPU enabled series [6].
For context, v3 was a follow-up to the RFC v2 series [4], reworked on
top of Gary's io_projection patches [5].
The patch defines an ExtCapability trait that associates an extended
capability ID with its register layout. The generic
ConfigSpace::find_ext_capability() finder locates the capability, bounds
it at the next capability or the end of extended configuration space,
and projects the ConfigSpace view to the requested layout. This lets the
existing I/O projection and access macros operate on capability registers.
ExtSriovRegs provides the SR-IOV register layout, with helpers to identify
and read 64-bit VF BARs. ExtSriovCapability remains as a convenience alias.
Changes since v3:
- Replaced the custom ExtCapability<T> I/O wrapper with the existing
ConfigSpace view infrastructure. (Alex)
- Reused ExtCapability as a trait carrying the capability ID, and made
ConfigSpace::find_ext_capability() generic over register layouts.
(Alex)
- Removed public cast_sized() and unused find_next_ext_capability().
(Alex)
- Kept capability construction in the generic finder and documented
calculate_ext_cap_size(). (Alex)
- Used PCI_SRIOV_NUM_BARS rather than a literal VF BAR count.
(Alex, Zhi)
- Added is_vf_bar_64bit() and made read_vf_bar64() reject BARs that are
not 64-bit memory BARs. (Alex, Zhi)
- Kept indexed VF BAR helpers because the Nova user accesses fixed BAR
slots rather than iterating over them. (Alex)
- Adapted the implementation and doctest to the current ConfigSpace I/O
APIs. (Zhi)
Changes since RFC v2:
- Hardened calculate_ext_cap_size() against corrupt capability lists.
(Zhi)
- Added // INVARIANT: comments at all ExtCapability construction sites
(make_ext_capability and cast_sized). (Zhi)
- Added #[inline] to small forwarding methods (find, read_vf_bar64).
(Zhi)
Changes since RFC:
- Rebased on io_projection branch, using Gary's Io/IoCapable traits.
(Gary)
- ExtCapability implements Io and delegates IoCapable to ConfigSpace
instead of duplicating config read/write logic. (Gary)
- Dropped the fallible I/O patch (now upstream in this tree). (Zhi)
- Added Rust helper for PCI_EXT_CAP_NEXT() macro. (Zhi)
- Replaced raw `as` casts with From conversions where possible. (Zhi)
- Renamed SriovRegs/SriovCapability to ExtSriovRegs/ExtSriovCapability.
