commit 7dcf688d4c78a18ba9538b2bf1b11dc7a43fe9be upstream.
We've run into a problem where our device is attached
to a Virtual Machine and the use of the new pci_set_vpd_size()
API doesn't help. The VM kernel has been informed that
the accesses are okay, but all of the actual VPD Capability
Accesses are trapped down into the KVM Hypervisor where it
goes ahead and imposes the silent denials.
The right idea is to follow the kernel.org
commit 1c7de2b4ff88 ("PCI: Enable access to non-standard VPD for
Chelsio devices (cxgb3)") which Alexey Kardashevskiy authored
to establish a PCI Quirk for our T3-based adapters. This commit
extends that PCI Quirk to cover Chelsio T4 devices and later.
The advantage of this approach is that the VPD Size gets set early
in the Base OS/Hypervisor Boot and doesn't require that the cxgb4
driver even be available in the Base OS/Hypervisor. Thus PF4 can
be exported to a Virtual Machine and everything should work.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
