similar to: [PATCH 05/14] kvm tools: Add virtio-mmio support

This patch adds support for the new virtio-mmio transport layer added in 3.2-rc1. The purpose of this new layer is to allow virtio to work on systems which don't necessarily support PCI, such as embedded systems. To apply the patch on top of the KVM tools tree, you must first pull Linus' tree on top. Also, CONFIG_VIRTIO_MMIO=y should be set in the guest kernel. This is an early RFC,

This is a first go at adding support for the modern (based on the 1.0 virtio spec) virtio-pci implementation. kvmtool makes it simple to add additional transports such as this because of it's layering, so we are able to add it as a 3rd (after legacy virtio-pci and virtio-mmio) transport layer, and still allow users to choose to use either the legacy or the modern implementations (but setting

This patch adds an option to instantiate guest virtio-mmio devices basing on a kernel command line (or module) parameter, for example: virtio_mmio.devices=0x100 at 0x100b0000:48 Signed-off-by: Pawel Moll <pawel.moll at arm.com> --- Hi Rusty, As the param changes are in now, could you queue this long-time-forgotten patch for 3.5? Cheers! Pawel PS. Congratulations once again and see

With KVM, MMIO is much slower than PIO, due to the need to do page walk and emulation. But with EPT, it does not have to be: we know the address from the VMCS so if the address is unique, we can look up the eventfd directly, bypassing emulation. Add an interface for userspace to specify this per-address, we can use this e.g. for virtio. The implementation adds a separate bus internally. This

This is the initial proposal for a paravirtualized IOMMU device using virtio transport. It contains a description of the device, a Linux driver, and a toy implementation in kvmtool. With this prototype, you can translate DMA to guest memory from emulated (virtio), or passed-through (VFIO) devices. In its simplest form, implemented here, the device handles map/unmap requests from the guest. Future

Currently, vhost-net is the only consumer of vhost infrastructure. So vhost infrastructure and vhost-net driver are in a single module. Separating this as a vhost.ko module and a vhost-net.ko module makes it is easier to share code with other vhost drivers, e.g. vhost-blk.ko, tcm-vhost.ko.

Hi folks, [I am resending to fix the broken thread in the previous one.] This patchset adds vhost-blk support. vhost-blk is a in kernel virito-blk device accelerator. Compared to userspace virtio-blk implementation, vhost-blk gives about 5% to 15% performance improvement. Asias He (5): aio: Export symbols and struct kiocb_batch for in kernel aio usage eventfd: Export symbol

Get blktap2 running on pvops. This mainly adds eventfd support to the userland code. Based on some prior cleanup to tapdisk-queue and the server object. We had most of that in XenServer for a while, so I kept it stacked. 1. Clean up IPC and AIO init in tapdisk-server. [I think tapdisk-ipc in blktap2 is basically obsolete. Pending a later patch to remove it?] 2. Split tapdisk-queue into

Hi, This is the first attempt to add a new qemu nvme backend using in-kernel nvme target. Most code are ported from qemu-nvme and also borrow code from Hannes Reinecke's rts-megasas. It's similar as vhost-scsi, but doesn't use virtio. The advantage is guest can run unmodified NVMe driver. So guest can be any OS that has a NVMe driver. The goal is to get as good performance as
