[Lguest] [PATCH 1/6] virtio interace

Rusty Russell rusty at rustcorp.com.au
Thu Sep 20 22:09:00 EST 2007


(Changes: 
 - renamed sync to kick as Dor suggested
 - added new_vq and free_vq hooks to create virtqueues
 - define a simple virtio driver, which uses PCI ids
 - provide register/unregister_virtio_driver hooks)

This attempts to implement a "virtual I/O" layer which should allow
common drivers to be efficiently used across most virtual I/O
mechanisms.  It will no-doubt need further enhancement.

The virtio drivers add and get I/O buffers; as the buffers are consumed
the driver "interrupt" callbacks are invoked.

It also provides driver register and unregister hooks, which are
simply overridden at run time (eg. for a guest kernel which supports
KVM paravirt and lguest).

+ *	vq: the struct virtqueue to free (must be unused or empty).
+ * @add_buf: expose buffer to other end
+ *	vq: the struct virtqueue we're talking about.
+ *	sg: the description of the buffer(s).
+ *	out_num: the number of sg readable by other side
+ *	in_num: the number of sg which are writable (after readable ones)
+ *	data: the token identifying the buffer.
+ *      Returns 0 or an error.
+ * @kick: update after add_buf
+ *	vq: the struct virtqueue
+ *	After one or more add_buf calls, invoke this to kick the virtio layer.
+ * @get_buf: get the next used buffer
+ *	vq: the struct virtqueue we're talking about.
+ *	len: the length written into the buffer
+ *	Returns NULL or the "data" token handed to add_buf.
+ * @restart: restart callbacks ater callback returned false.
+ *	vq: the struct virtqueue we're talking about.
+ *	This returns "false" (and doesn't re-enable) if there are pending
+ *	buffers in the queue, to avoid a race.
+ * @shutdown: "unadd" all buffers.
+ *	vq: the struct virtqueue we're talking about.
+ *	Remove everything from the queue.
+ *
+ * Locking rules are straightforward: the driver is responsible for
+ * locking.  No two operations may be invoked simultaneously.
+ *
+ * All operations can be called in any context.
