Hi all,
v4->v5
- Change vdev->shmem_list to QSIMPLEQ type
- Dropped MEM_READ/WRITE messages
- Improved message handling for
SHMEM_MAP/UNMAP (fix leaks, fix
response logic, reworked field
checks, etc.)
- Changed VHOST_USER_FLAG_MAP_* to
have only read-write flag
The goal of this patch is to support
dynamic fd-backed memory maps initiated
from vhost-user backends.
There are many devices that could already
benefit of this feature, e.g.,
virtiofs, virtio-gpu, or the recently
added to the spec, virtio-media device.
After receiving the SHMEM_MAP/UNMAP request,
the frontend creates the RAMBlock form the
fd and maps it by adding it as a subregion
of the shared memory region container.
The VIRTIO Shared Memory Region list is
declared in the `VirtIODevice` struct
to make it generic.
The message handling code has been tested
with a rust-vmm device, which entails
some level of validation.
This patch also includes:
- SHMEM_CONFIG frontend request that is
specifically meant to allow generic
vhost-user-device frontend to be able to
query VIRTIO Shared Memory settings from the
backend (as this device is generic and agnostic
of the actual backend configuration).
