virtio: Virtio platform driver [PATCH 01/02] virtio: Break out lguest virtio code to virtio_lguest.c [PATCH 02/02] virtio: Add virtio platform driver These patches add a virtio platform driver to the Linux kernel. This platform driver has the same role as the virtio_pci driver, but instead of building on top of emulated PCI this driver is making use of the platform bus together with driver

This replaces find_vq/del_vq with find_vqs/del_vqs virtio operations, and updates all drivers. This is needed for MSI support, because MSI needs to know the total number of vectors upfront.

This patch lets interrupt handler functions have their natural type (ie. exactly match the data pointer type); for transition it allows the old irq_handler_t type as well. To do this it uses a gcc extension, cast-to-union, which allows a type to be cast to any type within the union. When used in a wrapper macro, it's a simple way of allowing one of several types. (Some drivers now need to

As promised to Andrew, and with much thanks to Andi Kleen for feedback, this is the new series of lguest patches. Main change is the move to drivers/lguest (for future non-i386 expansion), but lots of cleanups driven by Andi's feedback and the documentation effort (which made me examine every line of code). It's not perfect, but it's definitely useful. Cheers, Rusty. List of

Aiming these for coming merge window. Nothing should change, but get ready for a non-guest-endian config transports, and > 32 features bits. Final one is just an overdue consolidation. Cheers, Rusty. Rusty Russell (7): virtio_config: introduce size-based accessors. virtio: use size-based config accessors. virtio_config: helpers for non-converting accessors. virtio_config: make

Hi all, These are the patches I'm planning to submit for 2.6.24. Comments gratefully accepted. Along with the usual cleanups and improvements are Jes' de-i386-ification patches, and a new "virtio" mechanism designed to be shared with KVM (and hopefully other hypervisors). Cheers, Rusty.

Since we want to reset the device to remove them, this is simpler (device is reset for us on driver remove).

transports need to be able to detect legacy-only devices (ATM balloon only) to use legacy path to drive them. Add a core API to do just that. The implementation just blacklists balloon: not too pretty, but let's not over-engineer. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
