Device specific extensions for devices exposed to userspace through the vfio-pci-core library open both new functionality and new risks. Here we attempt to provided formalized requirements and expectations to ensure that future drivers both collaborate in their interaction with existing host drivers, as well as receive additional reviews from community members with experience in this area.

========================================

The kernel offers a wide variety of interfaces to support the development
|
|
of device drivers. This document is an only somewhat organized collection
|
|
of some of those interfaces — it will hopefully get better over time! The
|
|
available subsections can be seen below.
