[PATCH v3 1/1] usertools/devbind: allow changing UID/GID for VFIO

[Thomas Monjalon]

27/11/2024 10:13, Anatoly Burakov:
> Currently, when binding a device to VFIO, the UID/GID for the device will
> always stay as system default (`root`). Yet, when running DPDK as non-root
> user, one has to change the UID/GID of the device to match the user's
> UID/GID to use the device.
> 
> This patch adds an option to `dpdk-devbind.py` to change the UID/GID of
> the device when binding it to VFIO.

>     v1 -> v2:
>     - Replaced hard exit with an error printout
