similar to: [PATCH 1/6] virtio_host: host-side implementation of virtio rings.

This introduces vringh, which are generic accessors for virtio rings (host side). There's a host-side implementation in vhost, but it assumes that the rings are in userspace, and is tied to the vhost implementation. I have patches to adapt it to use vringh, but I'm pushing this in the next merge window for Sjur, who has CAIF patches which need it. This also includes a test program in

This fixes remaining sparse warnings in vringh and mic by using virtio 1.0 compliant wrappers. This also needs by get_user patches to avoid getting warnings from these calls. Tested by running vringh_test. Rusty, I prefer fixing all these warnings for 3.19, any objections? Michael S. Tsirkin (3): vringh: 64 bit features vringh: initial virtio 1.0 support mic/host: initial virtio 1.0

Hi all: This is an update version of vDPA support in kernel. vDPA device is a device that uses a datapath which complies with the virtio specifications with vendor specific control path. vDPA devices can be both physically located on the hardware or emulated by software. vDPA hardware devices are usually implemented through PCIE with the following types: - PF (Physical Function) - A single

Hi all: This is an updated version of kernel support for vDPA device. Various changes were made based on the feedback since last verion. One major change is to drop the sysfs API and leave the management interface for future development, and introudce the incremental DMA bus operations. Please see changelog for more information. The work on vhost, IFCVF (intel VF driver for vDPA) and qemu is

We want to copy from iov to buf, so the direction was wrong. Note: no real user for the helper, but it will be used by future features.

The ring element addresses are passed between components with different alignments assumptions. Thus, if guest/userspace selects a pointer and host then gets and dereferences it, we might need to decrease the compiler-selected alignment to prevent compiler on the host from assuming pointer is aligned. This actually triggers on ARM with -mabi=apcs-gnu - which is a deprecated configuration, but it
