similar to: [PATCH] virtio: console: Don't block entire guest if host doesn't read data

From: Amit Shah <amit.shah at redhat.com> If the host is slow in reading data or doesn't read data at all, blocking write calls not only blocked the program that called write() but the entire guest itself. To overcome this, let's not block till the host signals it has given back the virtio ring element we passed it. Instead, send the buffer to the host and return to userspace.

From: Sjur Br?ndeland <sjur.brandeland at stericsson.com> I thought rebasing rproc_serial to linux-next was going to be trivial. But when starting the merge I realized that I had to refactor the the patches from Masami Hiramatsu. The splice support has the same issue as I faced, with different type of buffers in the out_vq. So I ended up refactoring the splice functionality. The code size

This patch-set introduces a new virtio type "rproc_serial" for communicating with remote processors over shared memory. The driver depends on the the remoteproc framework. As preparation for introducing "rproc_serial" I've done a refactoring of the transmit buffer handling. NOTE: These two patches are identical to first two patches of the V8 patch-set, but are rebased to

Hey Rusty, These updated patches in the series return -EFAULT on copy_xx_user errors and also move the copy_from_user into fops_write() instead of it being in send_buf. This enables send_buf to just read from kernel buffers, making it simpler. This also allows write()s to write more to the host in one go, removingthe 4k limitation. I do limit the writes to 32k at once to not put too much

Hi All, The following patch set provides a low-overhead system for collecting kernel tracing data of guests by a host in a virtualization environment. A guest OS generally shares some devices with other guests or a host, so reasons of any problems occurring in a guest may be from other guests or a host. Then, to collect some tracing data of a number of guests and a host is needed when some

Hello, This patchset is still based on Linus' tree but I'll rebase when Rusty sends out the disable multiport patches. This series reworks the ABI to allow port discovery (only) via the control queue. In addition, it adds support for non-blocking write() support, which means no spinning. This works fine with the recent patches that are on qemu-devel. Also included is removal of
