27.Dt PCI_IOV_ADD_VF 9
28.Os
29.Sh NAME
30.Nm PCI_IOV_ADD_VF
31.Nd inform a PF driver that a VF is being created
32.Sh SYNOPSIS
33.In sys/bus.h
34.In machine/stdarg.h
35.In sys/nv.h
36.In dev/pci/pci_iov.h
37.Ft int
38.Fn PCI_IOV_ADD_VF "device_t dev" "uint16_t vfnum" "const nvlist_t *vf_config"
39.Sh DESCRIPTION
40The
41.Fn PCI_IOV_ADD_VF
42method is called by the PCI Single-Root I/O Virtualization
43.Pq SR-IOV
44infrastructure when it is initializating a new Virtual Function (VF) as a child
45of the given Physical Function (PF) device.
46This method will not be called until a successful call to
47.Xr PCI_IOV_INIT 9
48has been made.
49It is not guaranteed that this method will be called following a successful call
50to
51.Xr PCI_IOV_INIT 9 .
52If the infrastructure encounters a failure to allocate resources following the
53call to
54.Xr PCI_IOV_INIT 9 ,
55the VF creation will be aborted and
56.Xr PCI_IOV_UNINIT 9
57will be called immediately without any preceding calls to
58.Nm .
59.Pp
60The index of the VF being initialized is passed in the
61.Fa vfnum
62argument.
63VFs are always numbered sequentially starting at 0.
64.Pp
65If the driver requested device-specific configuration parameters via a VF schema
66in its call to
67.Xr pci_iov_attach 9 ,
68those parameters will be contained in the
69.Pa vf_config
70argument.
71All configuration parameters that were either set as required parameters or that
72had a default value set in the VF schema are guaranteed to be present in
73.Fa vf_config .
74Configuration parameters that were neither set as required nor were given a
75default value are optional and may or may not be present in
76.Fa vf_config .
77.Fa vf_config
78will not contain any configuration parameters that were not specified in the VF
79schema.
80All configuration parameters will have the correct type and will be in the range
81of valid values specified in the schema.
82.Pp
83Note that it is possible for the user to set different configuration values on
84different VF devices that are children of the same PF.
85The PF driver must not cache configuration parameters passed in previous calls
86to
87.Fn PCI_IOV_ADD_VF
88for other VFs and apply those parameters to the current VF.
89.Pp
90This function will not be called twice for the same
91.Fa vf_num
92on the same PF device without
93.Xr PCI_IOV_UNINIT 9
94and
95.Xr PCI_IOV_INIT 9
96first being called, in that order.
97.Sh RETURN VALUES
98This method returns 0 on success, otherwise an appropriate error is returned.
99If this method returns an error then the current VF device will be destroyed
100but the rest of the VF devices will be created and SR-IOV will be enabled on
101the PF.
