Subject: RE: [RFC v3 0/3] vfio_pci: wrap pci device as a mediated device

Hi Alex,

Sorry to disturb you. Do you want to review on this version or review a rebased version? :-) If rebase version is better, I can try to do it asap.

Thanks,
Yi Liu

> Change log:
>   v2->v3:
>   - use vfio-mdev-pci instead of vfio-pci-mdev
>   - place the new driver under drivers/vfio/pci while define
>     Kconfig in samples/Kconfig to clarify it is a sample driver
> 
>   v1->v2:
>   - instead of adding kernel option to existing vfio-pci
>     module in v1, v2 follows Alex's suggestion to add a
>     separate vfio-pci-mdev module.
>   - new patchset subject: "vfio/pci: wrap pci device as a mediated device"
> 
> Liu, Yi L (3):
>   vfio_pci: split vfio_pci.c into two source files
>   vfio/pci: protect cap/ecap_perm bits alloc/free with atomic op
>   smaples: add vfio-mdev-pci driver
