If any PME event will be generated by PCI, then it will be mostly handled in the host by the root port PME code. For example, in the case of PCIe, the PME event will be sent to the root port and then the PME interrupt will be generated. This will be handled in drivers/pci/pcie/pme.c at the host side. Inside this, the pci_check_pme_status() will be called where PME_Status and PME_En bits will be cleared. So, the guest OS which is using vfio-pci device will not come to know about this PME event. To handle these PME events inside guests, we need some framework so that if any PME events will happen, then it needs to be forwarded to virtual machine monitor. We can virtualize PME related registers bits and initialize these bits to zero so vfio-pci device user will assume that it is not capable of asserting the PME# signal from any power state.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. 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.
