......@@ -39,3 +39,8 @@ KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP attributes:
- @groupfd is a file descriptor for a VFIO group;
- @tablefd is a file descriptor for a TCE table allocated via
KVM_CREATE_SPAPR_TCE.
The GROUP_ADD operation above should be invoked prior to accessing the
device file descriptor via VFIO_GROUP_GET_DEVICE_FD in order to support
drivers which require a kvm pointer to be set in their .open_device()
callback.
