Intel Xe Enabling SR-IOV PF By Default, Marking Driver As "Broken" For Non-4K Kernels
On top of all the Linux 6.17 kernel graphics driver feature changes that landed last week like promoting Panther Lake's Xe3 graphics to on-by-default, SR-IOV for Battlemage GPUs, multi-GPU preparations, Wildcat Lake enablement work, and more, some additional Intel Xe kernel graphics driver changes were submitted today for merging to Linux 6.17 in the coming days.
Sent out today were the drm-xe-next-fixes for the week as primarily some "fixes" to the Intel Xe driver but two items in particular worth calling out. The "max_vfs" module parameter for the Xe driver does remain for those wanting to limit the number of Virtual Functions (VFs) that can be managed. While the Intel Xe driver is working better for other CPU architectures, it still has assumptions in place around being a 4K kernel page size.
