Support the driver_override scheme introduced with commit 782a985d ("PCI: Introduce new device binding path using pci_dev.driver_override") As pcistub_probe() is called for all devices (it has to check for a match based on the slot address rather than device type) it has to check for driver_override set to "pciback" itself. Up to now for assigning a pci device to pciback you need something like: echo 0000:07:10.0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:07\:10.0/driver/unbind echo 0000:07:10.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pciback/new_slot echo 0000:07:10.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers_probe while with the patch you can use the same mechanism as for similar drivers like pci-stub and vfio-pci: echo pciback > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:07\:10.0/driver_override echo 0000:07:10.0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:07\:10.0/driver/unbind echo 0000:07:10.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers_probe So e.g. libvirt doesn't need special handling for pciback.
