Re: [libvirt] PCI devices passthough to LXC containers using libvirt

Since the container shares a kernel with the "host" OS, there's nothing to really assign the PCI device to. If you're trying to use a PCI NIC, then is the bridging/NAT setup not sufficient ? If you're trying to use a block device, I've got a patch which will let libvirt's LXC code automatically mount any host block as a filesystem inside the container at startup. Your next mail about cgroups device ACL makes me think this is what you're trying todo... If neither of these are suitable, then we could think about how to support logical device assignment. ie assign a NIC, or assign a block device, rather than assigning the PCI device proividing it.
