Thanks. "Mediated device" is more generic than previous one. :-) > > What's new in v4? > - Renamed 'vgpu' module to 'mdev' module that represent generic term > 'Mediated device'. > - Moved mdev directory to drivers/vfio directory as this is the extension > of VFIO APIs for mediated devices. > - Updated mdev driver to be flexible to register multiple types of drivers > to mdev_bus_type bus. > - Updated mdev core driver with mdev_put_device() and mdev_get_device() for > mediated devices. > > Just curious. In this version you move the whole mdev core under VFIO now. Sorry if I missed any agreement on this change. IIRC Alex doesn't want VFIO to manage mdev life-cycle directly. Instead VFIO is just a mdev driver on created mediated devices.... Thanks Kevin
