CONFIG_VFIO_MDEV_DEVICE in 5.15 kernels

[wvthoog]

Hi,

i was wondering why the module CONFIG_VFIO_MDEV_DEVICE was removed from kernel versions 5.15

Need that module for creating vGPU's.

Will this be added in future releases of the kernel or does this mean i have to rebuilt the kernel myself ?

seems it was removed and moved into the 'mdev' module ?

That clarifies it. Thanks !

Will have to patch the Nvidia driver instead then

Did you manage to install the Nvidia driver?
I have the exact same problem over here

Any suggestions how to solve this issue ?

what problems do you have? the module was merged into the mdev module, so it shouldn't be necessary anymroe
