Details about this can be found here: https://lwn.net/Articles/750770/ What's new in this version ========================== A new VFIO device type is introduced - vfio-vhost. This addressed some comments from here: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/cover/984763/ Below is the updated device interface: Currently, there are two regions of this device: 1) CONFIG_REGION

This patch introduces a mdev (mediated device) based hardware vhost backend. This backend is an abstraction of the various hardware vhost accelerators (potentially any device that uses virtio ring can be used as a vhost accelerator). Some generic mdev parent ops are provided for accelerator drivers to support generating mdev instances. What's this =========== The idea is that we can setup a

This RFC is to demonstrate below ideas, a) Build vhost-mdev on top of the same abstraction defined in the virtio-mdev series [1]; b) Introduce /dev/vhost-mdev to do vhost ioctls and support setting mdev device as backend; Now the userspace API looks like this: - Userspace generates a compatible mdev device; - Userspace opens this mdev device with VFIO API (including doing IOMMU

This patch introduces a mdev based hardware vhost backend. This backend is built on top of the same abstraction used in virtio-mdev and provides a generic vhost interface for userspace to accelerate the virtio devices in guest. This backend is implemented as a mdev device driver on top of the same mdev device ops used in virtio-mdev but using a different mdev class id, and it will register the
