virPCIDeviceReattach and virPCIDeviceUnbindFromStub (called by virPCIDeviceReattach) had previously required the name of the stub driver as input. This is unnecessary, because the name of the driver the device is currently bound to can be found by looking at the link: /sys/bus/pci/dddd:bb:ss.ff/driver Instead of requiring that the name of the expected stub driver name and only unbinding if that one name is matched, we no longer take a driver name in the arglist for either of these functions. virPCIDeviceUnbindFromStub just compares the name of the currently bound driver to a list of "well known" stubs (right now contains "pci-stub" and "vfio-pci" for qemu, and "pciback" for xen), and only performs the unbind if it's one of those devices. This allows virsh nodedevice-reattach to work properly across a libvirtd restart, and fixes a couple of cases where we were erroneously still hard-coding "pci-stub" as the drive name. For some unknown reason, virPCIDeviceReattach had been calling modprobe on the stub driver prior to unbinding the device. This was problematic because we no longer know the name of the stub driver in that function. However, it is pointless to probe for the stub driver at that time anyway - because the device is bound to the stub driver, we are guaranteed that it is already loaded, and so that call to modprobe has been removed.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
