      virtio: Add platform bus driver for memory mapped virtio device · edfd52e6
      Pawel Moll 提交于
      This patch, based on virtio PCI driver, adds support for memory
      mapped (platform) virtio device. This should allow environments
      like qemu to use virtio-based block & network devices even on
      platforms without PCI support.
      
      One can define and register a platform device which resources
      will describe memory mapped control registers and "mailbox"
      interrupt. Such device can be also instantiated using the Device
      Tree node with compatible property equal "virtio,mmio".

      virtio: expose for non-virtualization users too · e7254219
      Ohad Ben-Cohen 提交于
      virtio has been so far used only in the context of virtualization,
      and the virtio Kconfig was sourced directly by the relevant arch
      Kconfigs when VIRTUALIZATION was selected.
      
      Now that we start using virtio for inter-processor communications,
      we need to source the virtio Kconfig outside of the virtualization
      scope too.
      
      Moreover, some architectures might use virtio for both virtualization
      and inter-processor communications, so directly sourcing virtio
      might yield unexpected results due to conflicting selections.
      
      The simple solution offered by this patch is to always source virtio's
      Kconfig in drivers/Kconfig, and remove it from the appropriate arch
      Kconfigs. Additionally, a virtio menu entry has been added so virtio
      drivers don't show up in the general drivers menu.
      
      This way anyone can use virtio, though it's arguably less accessible
      (and neat!) for virtualization users now.
      
      Note: some architectures (mips and sh) seem to have a VIRTUALIZATION
      menu merely for sourcing virtio's Kconfig, so that menu is removed too.

      Virtio helper routines for a descriptor ringbuffer implementation · 0a8a69dd
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      These helper routines supply most of the virtqueue_ops for hypervisors
      which want to use a ring for virtio.  Unlike the previous lguest
      implementation:
      
      1) The rings are variable sized (2^n-1 elements).
      2) They have an unfortunate limit of 65535 bytes per sg element.
      3) The page numbers are always 64 bit (PAE anyone?)
      4) They no longer place used[] on a separate page, just a separate
         cacheline.
      5) We do a modulo on a variable.  We could be tricky if we cared.
      6) Interrupts and notifies are suppressed using flags within the rings.
      
      Users need only get the ring pages and provide a notify hook (KVM
      wants the guest to allocate the rings, lguest does it sanely).

      Virtio interface · ec3d41c4
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      This attempts to implement a "virtual I/O" layer which should allow
      common drivers to be efficiently used across most virtual I/O
      mechanisms.  It will no-doubt need further enhancement.
      
      The virtio drivers add buffers to virtio queues; as the buffers are consumed
      the driver "interrupt" callbacks are invoked.
      
      There is also a generic implementation of config space which drivers can query
      to get setup information from the host.
