[Impact]
This allows vfio-pci to be bound to certain devices during boot, preventing other drivers from binding them.
In particular, USB host drivers, like xhci_hcd, are hard to unbind, as USB devices may end up being used by applications.
[Test case]
Boot the system with vfio-pci.ids=8086:1e31 or other device ID.
[Regression potential]
Check that VFIO does not bind to any other device.
--------------------------------------
Because of
nazar-pc@nazar-pc ~> cat '/boot/config-4.15.0-21-generic' | grep CONFIG_USB_XHCI_HCD
CONFIG_USB_XHCI_HCD=y
Following doesn't work:
nazar-pc@nazar-pc ~> cat /etc/modprobe.d/gpu-passthrough.conf
options vfio-pci ids=10de:1b06,10de:10ef,1b21:2142
softdep nouveau pre: vfio-pci
softdep xhci_hcd pre: vfio-pci
GPU is fine (first 2 IDs), but USB controller is always occupied by xhci_hcd and I can't change that while xhci_hcd is built-in.
I'd like you to resolve this issue by either embedding vfio-pci module too (prefered solution) or making xhci_hcd optional.
There are some discussions withot clean solution online like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/VFIO/comments/4o6wla/cant_get_vfiopci_to_bind_to_usb_30_card_at_boot/
