v1 -> v2:
- Add new files to MAINTAINERS
- Add hash_func and key_equal_func to uuid
- Expose functions to send vhost-user shared_object messages back instead of exposing write_msg method
This patch covers the required steps to add support for virtio cross-device resource sharing[1],
which support is already available in the kernel.
The main usecase will be sharing dma buffers from virtio-gpu devices (as the exporter
-see VIRTIO_GPU_CMD_RESOURCE_ASSIGN_UUID in [2]), to virtio-video (under discussion)
devices (as the buffer-user or importer). Therefore, even though virtio specs talk about
resources or objects[3], this patch adds the infrastructure with dma-bufs in mind.
Note that virtio specs let the devices themselves define what a vitio object is.
These are the main parts that are covered in the patch:
- Add hash_func and key_equal_func to uuid
- Shared resources table, to hold all resources that can be shared in the host and their assigned UUID
- Internal shared table API for virtio devices to add, lookup and remove resources
- Unit test to verify the API.
- New message to the vhost-user protocol to allow backend to interact with the shared
table API through the control socket
Applies cleanly to 4ebc33f
