[PATCH v2 2/4] vfio: selftests: Verify a failed second open preserves the vf_token
From: Alex Williamson
Date: Fri Sep 11 2026 - 13:27:51 EST
The cdev path enforces a single open per device and rejects a second
bind of an already open device. That rejection must happen before the
bind can mutate state shared across opens, notably the PF vf_token, so
that a bind which cannot complete leaves the current opener's state
untouched.
Add a regression test that binds a PF with one token, attempts a
second bind of the same PF with a different token, then initializes a
VF with the original token. The VF init succeeds only if the second
bind left the PF vf_token intact; a regression that clobbered it to
the second token would make the VF init fail.
Additionally add a second separate test that enforces the -EBUSY
errno on second open so that the vf_token clobber and errno testing
are independent.
These hazards are specific to the cdev/iommufd single-open path, so
the tests run only in iommufd mode.
