Subject: [pve-devel] [PATCH qemu-server 1/1] pci: call hookscript for each prepared pci device
Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2026 16:50:31 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260114155043.3313473-3-d.csapak@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260114155043.3313473-1-d.csapak@proxmox.com>
There are situations where a user might want to do extra things
for a passed through PCI device after it has been prepared/created (e.g.
in case of vGPU/mdev) but before the actual QEMU process is started.
Two examples are (both are used with NVIDIA vGPUs):
* setting 'vgpu_params' such as removing the frame-rate-limiter
* setting the gpu_instance_id for MIG devices
So instead of creating (nvidia-specific) interfaces for these, give a
user the ability to do it themselves via the hookscript as a first step.
Call it for each prepared device, so that we can give the hookscript the
'hostpciX' id, and the used uuid (in case of mdevs) or the pci id (in
case of regular or modern vGPU passthrough).
Include the generated mdev uuid in the return value of
`prepare_pci_device`, to avoid having to generate that multiple times.
With that we can get rid of one extra generation here too.
