SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization) is an optional PCIe capability (see PCIe r4.0, sec 9). A PCIe Function with the SR-IOV capability is referred to as a PF (Physical Function). If SR-IOV is enabled on the PF, several VFs (Virtual Functions) may be created. The VFs can be individually assigned to virtual machines, which allows them to share a single hardware device while being isolated from each other. Some SR-IOV devices have resources such as queues and interrupts that must be set up in the PF before enabling the VFs, so they require a PF driver to do that. Other SR-IOV devices don't require any PF setup before enabling VFs. Add a pci_sriov_configure_simple() interface so PF drivers for such devices can use it without repeating the VF-enabling code.

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.
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.
