Worked on expanding hardware virtualization support in the geerlingguy/linux repository by implementing QAT GEN6 6xxx Virtual Functions support within the VFIO PCI driver. This involved extending the probe table with new device IDs and updating the module description to reflect broader QAT generation compatibility. The work focused on enabling safer multi-tenant deployments and improved performance for users leveraging Intel QAT accelerators. All development was feature-driven, with no major bug fixes documented during the period. Utilized C for Linux kernel driver development, applying expertise in device drivers, PCI device probing, virtualization, and module metadata management to deliver the enhancement.
