Subject: [PATCH] wifi: ath11k: workaround to use VMs
Date: Thu, 21 Mar 2024 18:23:53 +0100

Currently, this driver is not working when the device is handled in a
Virtual Machine (PCI pass-through), as it was already reported here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/fc6bd06f-d52b-4dee-ab1b-4bb845cc0b95@quicinc.com/T/
Baochen Qiang focused the problem and described how to have it working
for a specific real MSI vector from host that needs to be used in VM too.
And this value, as it was commented, can change.

The problem seems complex to me and I don't know if there is any easy way
to solve it. Meanwhile and using the information from Baochen Qiang,
since the use of VMs is very interesting for testing procedures,
I would like to just add this workaround that consists on adding a
parameter to pass the real MSI vector from host to the VM. In that way,
checking the 'lscpi' command output from host, it could be handled manually
or with some user tool in order to have the VM with the driver working.
Of course, if this parameter is not configured (zero value and default),
we will have the same behavior as always.
