ENUM XE_SRIOV_PROVISIONING_MODE(9)

💖 enum xe_sriov_provisioning_mode 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the enum xe_sriov_provisioning_mode(9) page — it's a Kernel API Manual situation, and it's all about SR-IOV provisioning mode ✨ like, the whole vibe of how your Virtual Functions get provisioned. no cap, it's short but it's iconic.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole enum, looking all cute and self-explanatory:

enum xe_sriov_provisioning_mode {
    XE_SRIOV_PROVISIONING_MODE_AUTO ,
    XE_SRIOV_PROVISIONING_MODE_CUSTOM

};

two modes, two moods, both valid 💅

✨ CONSTANTS ✨

🦋 XE_SRIOV_PROVISIONING_MODE_AUTO

so this one is the chill, hands-off one 🫶 — the VFs get provisioned during VFs enabling. and like, any allocated resources to the VFs? they're automatically released when you disable the VFs. clean, no leftovers, no mess 💖

and bestie, this is the default mode. it's giving main character energy, it's the one you get if you don't pick 🎀

🧚 XE_SRIOV_PROVISIONING_MODE_CUSTOM

this is the I'll do it myself mode 😤 — explicit VFs provisioning using uABI interfaces. and here's the tea: VFs resources remain allocated regardless of whether the VFs are enabled or not. so like, they stay put. permanently-ish. yep, that's the whole point 🙈

⭐ friendly reminder bestie: AUTO releases stuff when you disable VFs, CUSTOM does not. pick your fave responsibly 💀

and that's the page!! mwah 💋 this lil gem lives over in ./drivers/gpu/drm/xe, dated October 2026, and it's part of the Kernel API Manual — the enum xe_sri...sioning_mode(9) icon herself. slay, go provision something 🎀✨🔥
