2013-03-20	virtio: Introduce vringh wrappers in virtio_config	Sjur Brændeland	1	-0/+29
	Add wrappers for the host vrings to support loose coupling between the virtio device and driver. A new struct vringh_config_ops with the functions find_vrhs() and del_vrhs() is added to the virtio_device struct. This enables virtio drivers to manage virtio host rings without detailed knowledge of how the vrings are created and deleted. The function vringh_notify() is added so vringh clients can notify the other side that buffers are added to the used-ring.

2013-03-20	vringh: host-side implementation of virtio rings.	Rusty Russell	1	-0/+196
	Getting use of virtio rings correct is tricky, and a recent patch saw an implementation of in-kernel rings (as separate from userspace). This abstracts the business of dealing with the virtio ring layout from the access (userspace or direct); to do this, we use function pointers, which gcc inlines correctly.
