Hello! I investigating the virtualisation abilities of current AMD FirePro hardware; specifically how to securely pass a share of a GPU to one application (a Rkt/ Docker container). I already read vfio.txt and pci-iov-howto.txt, but they do not answer my questions. I was unable to find documentation on the process online, either.
1. How do I create VFs from a AMD FirePro PF? I saw an example using VMWare ESXi tools, where it is possible to specify RAM size and time-share, but I have not seen how that translates to modifying /sys/bus/pci/..., which is the method recommended for SR-IOV devices in pci-iov-howto.txt. 2. After having created VFs, is it possible to bind these to the host's amdgpu driver, so that I get multiple /dev/dri/card* device nodes? 3. Will passing these /dev/dri/card* device nodes into a Rkt/Docker container be enough for the AMD Radeon Pro OpenGL runtime to be able to use that card?
