29.Dt PCI_IOV_ADD_VF 9
30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm PCI_IOV_ADD_VF
33.Nd inform a PF driver that a VF is being created
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.In sys/bus.h
36.In machine/stdarg.h
37.In sys/nv.h
38.In dev/pci/pci_iov.h
39.Ft int
40.Fn PCI_IOV_ADD_VF "device_t dev" "uint16_t vfnum" "const nvlist_t *vf_config"
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42The
43.Fn PCI_IOV_ADD_VF
44method is called by the PCI Single-Root I/O Virtualization
45.Pq SR-IOV
46infrastructure when it is initializating a new Virtual Function (VF) as a child
47of the given Physical Function (PF) device.
48This method will not be called until a successful call to
49.Xr PCI_IOV_INIT 9
50has been made.
51It is not guaranteed that this method will be called following a successful call
52to
53.Xr PCI_IOV_INIT 9 .
54If the infrastructure encounters a failure to allocate resources following the
55call to
56.Xr PCI_IOV_INIT 9 ,
57the VF creation will be aborted and
58.Xr PCI_IOV_UNINIT 9
59will be called immediately without any preceding calls to
60.Nm .
61.Pp
62The index of the VF being initialized is passed in the
63.Fa vfnum
64argument.
65VFs are always numbered sequentially starting at 0.
66.Pp
67If the driver requested device-specific configuration parameters via a VF schema
68in its call to
69.Xr pci_iov_attach 9 ,
70those parameters will be contained in the
71.Pa vf_config
72argument.
73All configuration parameters that were either set as required parameters or that
74had a default value set in the VF schema are guaranteed to be present in
75.Fa vf_config .
76Configuration parameters that were neither set as required nor were given a
77default value are optional and may or may not be present in
78.Fa vf_config .
79.Fa vf_config
80will not contain any configuration parameters that were not specified in the VF
81schema.
82All configuration parameters will have the correct type and will be in the range
83of valid values specified in the schema.
84.Pp
85Note that it is possible for the user to set different configuration values on
86different VF devices that are children of the same PF.
87The PF driver must not cache configuration parameters passed in previous calls
88to
89.Fn PCI_IOV_ADD_VF
90for other VFs and apply those parameters to the current VF.
91.Pp
92This function will not be called twice for the same
93.Fa vf_num
94on the same PF device without
95.Xr PCI_IOV_UNINIT 9
96and
97.Xr PCI_IOV_INIT 9
98first being called, in that order.
99.Sh RETURN VALUES
100This method returns 0 on success, otherwise an appropriate error is returned.
101If this method returns an error then the current VF device will be destroyed
102but the rest of the VF devices will be created and SR-IOV will be enabled on
103the PF.
