similar to: [PATCH 0/7] virtio cleanups

I've renewed this again, with some comments from HPA. I've tried to keep the new patches separate, so you can see the changes since we last discussed this (and so it's easy to back it out if we decide it's insane). I haven't even looked at the QEMU side so this is completely untested. Comments gratefully received! Rusty. Michael S Tsirkin (1): pci: add pci_iomap_range

This patchset tries to go towards implementing both virtio-1 compliant and transitional virtio drivers in Linux. Branch available at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvms390/linux virtio-1 This is based on some old patches by Rusty to handle extended feature bits and endianness conversions. Thomas implemented the new virtio-ccw transport revision command, and I hacked up some

From: Sjur Br?ndeland <sjur.brandeland at stericsson.com> This driver depends on Rusty's new host virtio ring implementation, so this patch-set is based on the vringh branch in Rusty's git. Changes since V1: - Use the new iov helper functions, and simplify iov handling. However this triggers compile warnings, as it takes struct iov while kernel api uses struct kiov - Introduced

Here's the patch series I ended up with. I haven't coded up the QEMU side yet, so no idea if the new driver works. Questions: (1) Do we win from separating ISR, NOTIFY and COMMON? (2) I used a "u8 bar"; should I use a bir and pack it instead? BIR seems a little obscure (noone else in the kernel source seems to refer to it). Cheers, Rusty.

This patch-set introduces the CAIF Virtio Link layer. The purpose is to communicate with a remote processor (a modem) over shared memory. Virtio is used as the transport mechanism, and the Remoteproc framework provides configuration and management of the Virtio rings and devices. The modem and Linux host may be on the same SoC, or connected over a shared memory interface such as LLI. Zero-Copy

Another iteration of virtio-1 patches for qemu, as always available on git://github.com/cohuck/qemu virtio-1 This one seems to work together with the current vhost-next patches (well, I can ping :) Changes from v4: - add helpers for feature bit manipulation and checking - use 64 bit feature bits instead of 32 bit arrays - infrastructure to allow devices to offer different sets of feature bits

And yet another iteration of virtio-1 support in qemu, tested with the latest virtio kernel patches. Find it at git://github.com/cohuck/qemu virtio-1 Changes from v5: - fixed stupid bug in "virtio: support more feature bits": we need to define a proper prop backend for 64 bit wide handling... - don't negotiate revision 1 unless VERSION_1 is offered - use 64 bit wide features

Config space endian-ness is currently a mess: fields are not tagged with the correct endian-ness so it's easy to make mistakes like instanciating config space in native endian-ness. The following patches adding sparse tagging are currently in my tree. Lightly tested. As a follow-up, I plan to add new APIs that handle modern config space in a more efficient way (bypassing the version check).

Hi all: There are hardware that can do virtio datapath offloading while having its own control path. This path tries to implement a mdev based unified API to support using kernel virtio driver to drive those devices. This is done by introducing a new mdev transport for virtio (virtio_mdev) and register itself as a new kind of mdev driver. Then it provides a unified way for kernel virtio driver to
