But a user needs to be granted access to a device by a privileged
entity and the privileged entity may also enable SR-IOV, so it seems
you're assuming the privileged entity is operating independently and
not in the best interest of enabling the specific user case.

As I replied in patch [5/7] the operations don't need to happen
independently, configuring SR-IOV in advance of the user driver
attaching or in collaboration with the user driver can also be enabled
with this series as is.  Allowing the user driver to directly enable
SR-IOV and create VFs in the host is something I've avoided here, but
not precluded for later extensions.  I think that allowing a user to
perform these operations represents a degree of privilege beyond
ownership of the PF itself, which is why I'm currently only enabling
the sysfs sriov_configure interface.  The user driver needs to work in
collaboration with a privileged entity to enable SR-IOV, or be granted
access to operate on the sysfs interface directly.

Can you articulate a specific risk that this would resolve?  If we have
devices like the one supported by pci-pf-stub, where it's apparently
sufficient to provide no device access other than to enable SR-IOV on
the PF, re-implementing that in vfio-pci would require that the
userspace driver is notified when the SR-IOV configuration is changed
such that a VF token can be re-inserted.  For what gain?

Likewise I don't see the gain of restricting it.

I think we're going into the weeds here, a privileged user can use the
pci-sysfs reset interface to break all sorts of things.  I'm certainly
not going to propose any sort of VF token interface to restrict it.
Privileged users can do bad things via sysfs.  Privileged users can
configure PFs in ways that may not be compatible with any given
userspace VF driver.  I'm assuming collaboration in the best interest
of enabling the user driver.  Thanks,
