From: Michal Privoznik <[email protected]>Our network has multiple means of forwarding the traffic and 'hostdev' is one of them. This mode means that the network is configured to use a set of PCI devices which are then assigned to individual domains to use (PCI device assignment). Now, as of v12.0.0-61-gecb2e06bdf our test runners (testCompareXMLToXMLFiles() and testCompareXMLToConfFiles()) call networkValidateTests(). For aforementioned type of network this means checking that the specified set of devices contains only VFs (see v3.2.0-rc1~24 for more info). It is true that our virpcimock is preloaded which mimics VFs, but our utils module (virpci.c specifically) talks to sysfs to check various PCI device attributes, including whether it's a VF. This obviously works on Linux and doesn't work anywhere else. Therefore, until our utils module is taught how to check PCI attribs on other systems, make the "hostdev" test case expect validation failure on non-Linux systems.
