[PATCH 0/2] drm/virtio: introduce the HOST_PAGE_SIZE feature

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There's an incresing number of machines supporting multiple page sizes
and on these machines the host and a guest can be running, each one,
with a different page size.

For what pertains to virtio-gpu, this is not a problem if the page size
of the guest happens to be bigger or equal than the host, but will
potentially lead to failures in memory allocations and/or mappings
otherwise.

To improve this situation, we introduce here the HOST_PAGE_SIZE feature.
This feature indicates that the host has an extended virtio_gpu_config
structure that include it's own page size a new field.

On the second commit, we also add a new param that can be read with
VIRTGPU_GETPARAM by userspace applications running in the guest to
obtain the host's page size and find out the right alignment to be used
in shared memory allocations.
