From 664e9386bd05dbdfecfb28d6cf2fde983aabc65c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alex Williamson Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2013 15:42:28 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] vfio: Set container device mode Minor 0 is the VFIO container device (/dev/vfio/vfio). On it's own the container does not provide a user with any privileged access. It only supports API version check and extension check ioctls. Only by attaching a VFIO group to the container does it gain any access. Set the mode of the container to allow access.
