[libvirt] [PATCH v4 10/10] Wait for iommmu device to go away before reprobing the host driver

Sat Nov 14 08:39:46 UTC 2015


There could be a delay of 1 or 2 seconds before the vfio-pci driver
is unbound and the device file /dev/vfio/<iommu> is actually
removed. If the file exists, the host driver probing the device
can lead to crash. So, wait and avoid the crash.

This cant be tested with the mock as the delay cant be simulated.
The mock changes here are to just let the test cases pass for access()
call to check if the /dev/vfio/<iommu> exists.
