2015-01-21virtio_pci: add an option to disable legacy driverMichael S. Tsirkin1-1/+2
Useful for testing device virtio 1 compatibility. Based on patch by Rusty - couldn't resist putting that flying car joke in there! Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2015-01-21virtio_pci: modern driverMichael S. Tsirkin1-1/+1
Lightly tested against qemu. One thing *not* implemented here is separate mappings for descriptor/avail/used rings. That's nice to have, will be done later after we have core support. This also exposes the PCI layout to userspace, and adds macros for PCI layout offsets: QEMU wants it, so why not? Trust, but verify.

2014-12-09virtio_pci: rename virtio_pci -> virtio_pci_commonMichael S. Tsirkin1-0/+1
kbuild does not seem to like it when we name source files same as the module. Let's rename virtio_pci -> virtio_pci_common, and get rid of #include-ing c files. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>
2012-09-28virtio: remove CONFIG_VIRTIO_RINGRusty Russell1-2/+1
Everyone who selects VIRTIO is also made to select VIRTIO_RING; just make them synonymous, since we removed the indirection layer some time ago. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2011-11-02virtio: Add platform bus driver for memory mapped virtio devicePawel Moll1-0/+1
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".

2008-02-04virtio: balloon driverRusty Russell1-0/+1
After discussions with Anthony Liguori, it seems that the virtio balloon can be made even simpler. Here's my attempt. The device configuration tells the driver how much memory it should take from the guest (ie. balloon size). The guest feeds the page numbers it has taken via one virtqueue. A second virtqueue feeds the page numbers the driver wants back: if the device has the VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_MUST_TELL_HOST bit, then this queue is compulsory, otherwise it's advisory (and the guest can simply fault the pages back in). This driver can be enhanced later to deflate the balloon via a shrinker, oom callback or we could even go for a complete set of in-guest regulators.

2008-02-04virtio: PCI deviceAnthony Liguori1-0/+1
This is a PCI device that implements a transport for virtio. It allows virtio devices to be used by QEMU based VMMs like KVM or Xen. Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2007-10-23Virtio helper routines for a descriptor ringbuffer implementationRusty Russell1-0/+1
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).

2007-10-23Virtio interfaceRusty Russell1-0/+1
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.
