Hi Nova,
The first batch of patches are up for review for the PCI tracking for Placement feature. These mostly covers two aspects of the spec[1]: 1) renaming [pci]passthrough_whitelist to [pci]device_spec 2) pci inventory reporting to placement, excluding existing PCI allocation healing in placement
This covers the first 4 sub chapters of Proposed Change chapter of the spec[1] up until "PCI alias configuration". I noted intentional deviations from the spec in the spec review [2] and I will push a follow up to the spec at some point fixing those.
I tried to do it in small steps hence the long list of commits[3]:
#2) pci inventory reporting to placement, excluding existing PCI allocation healing in placement 5827d56310 Stop if tracking is disable after it was enabled before a4b5788858 Support [pci]device_spec reconfiguration 10642c787a Reject devname based device_spec config b0ad05fb69 Ignore PCI devs with physical_network tag f5a34ee441 Reject mixed VF rc and trait config c60b26014f Reject PCI dependent device config 5cf7325221 Extend device_spec with resource_class and traits eff0df6a98 Basics for PCI Placement reporting #1) renaming [pci]passthrough_whitelist to [pci]device_spec adfe34080a Rename whitelist in tests ea955a0c15 Rename exception.PciConfigInvalidWhitelist to PciConfigInvalidSpec 55770e4c14 Rename [pci]passthrough_whitelist to device_spec
There is a side track branching out from "adfe34080a Rename whitelist in tests" to clean up the device spec handling[4]:
514500b5a4 Move __str__ to the PciAddressSpec base class 3a6198c8fb Fix type annotation of pci.Whitelist class f70adbb613 Remove unused PF checking from get_function_by_ifname b7eef53b1d Clean up mapping input to address spec types 93bbd67101 Poison /sys access via various calls in test 467ef91a86 Remove dead code from PhysicalPciAddress 233212d30f Fix PciAddressSpec descendants to call super.__init__ ad5bd46f46 Unparent PciDeviceSpec from PciAddressSpec cef0d2de4c Extra tests for remote managed dev spec 2fa2825afb Add more test coverage for devname base dev spec adfe34080a Rename whitelist in tests
This is not a mandatory part of the feature but I think they improve the code in hand and even fixing some small bugs.
I will continue with adding allocation healing for existing PCI allocations.
Any feedback is highly appreciated. Cheers, gibi
