[pve-devel] [PATCH docs] qm: pci passthrough: correct note about using 'softdep'

[Dominik Csapak]

In most cases with passthrough, the vfio-pci driver is preferred to what
the kernel would normally load (e.g. amdgpu/nouveau), so 'softdep' can
be used to make sure 'vfio-pci' is loaded before the actual module.

This is expressed in our docs already with a sensible example, but the
text is wrong, since it says 'load the gpu modules *before* loading
vfio-pci'.

So simply correct the 'before' to 'after'.

 Should this not work, you might need to set a soft dependency to load the gpu
-modules before loading 'vfio-pci'. This can be done with the 'softdep' flag, see
+modules after loading 'vfio-pci'. This can be done with the 'softdep' flag, see
 also the manpages on 'modprobe.d' for more information.
 
 For example, if you are using drivers named <some-module>:
