Hi all: There are hardwares that can do virtio datapath offloading while having its own control path. This path tries to implement a mdev based unified API to support using kernel virtio driver to drive those devices. This is done by introducing a new mdev transport for virtio (virtio_mdev) and register itself as a new kind of mdev driver. Then it provides a unified way for kernel virtio driver to talk with mdev device implementation. Though the series only contains kernel driver support, the goal is to make the transport generic enough to support userspace drivers. This means vhost-mdev[1] could be built on top as well by resuing the transport. A sample driver is also implemented which simulate a virito-net loopback ethernet device on top of vringh + workqueue. This could be used as a reference implementation for real hardware driver. Also a real IFC VF driver was also posted here[2] which is a good reference for vendors who is interested in their own virtio datapath offloading product. Consider mdev framework only support VFIO device and driver right now, this series also extend it to support other types. This is done through decoupling VFIO specific bits out of mdev core and make mdev an independent module that allows to be used by multiple types of buses. Pktgen test was done with virito-net + mvnet loop back device. Please review. [1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/11/5/424 [2] https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/11/5/227 Changes from V11: - decouple VFIO specific bits out of mdev core - make mdev an indepdent module to allow buses other than VFIO mdev - allow structure composition of mdev through specifiy the size of mdev structure - introduce mdev_vfio structure and store the VFIO specific callbacks there - don't use "mdev" bus for virtio, use a new "mdev_virtio" bus, and store the virtio specific callbacks in mdev_virtio structure. - do the class_id, matching on top of "mdev_virtio" bus Changes from V10: - rename mvnet to mvnet_loopback - fix typo in the help text for sample Kconfig Changes from V9: - Tweak the help text for virito-mdev kconfig Changes from V8: - try silent checkpatch, some are still there becuase they were inherited from virtio_config_ops which needs to be resolved in an independent series - tweak on the comment and doc - remove VIRTIO_MDEV_F_VERSION_1 completely - rename CONFIG_VIRTIO_MDEV_DEVICE to CONFIG_VIRTIO_MDEV Changes from V7: - drop {set|get}_mdev_features for virtio - typo and comment style fixes Changes from V6: - rename ops files and compile guard Changes from V5: - use dev_warn() instead of WARN(1) when class id is not set - validate id_table before trying to do matching between device and driver - add wildcard for modpost script - use unique name for id_table - move get_mdev_features() to be the first member of virtio_device_ops and more comments for it - typo fixes for the comments above virtio_mdev_ops Changes from V4: - keep mdev_set_class() for the device that doesn't use device ops - use union for device ops pointer in mdev_device - introduce class specific helper for getting is device ops - use WARN_ON instead of BUG_ON in mdev_set_virtio_ops - explain details of get_mdev_features() and get_vendor_id() - distinguish the optional virito device ops from mandatory ones and make get_generation() optional - rename vfio_mdev.h to vfio_mdev_ops.h, rename virito_mdev.h to virtio_mdev_ops.h - don't abuse version fileds in virtio_mdev structure, use features instead - fix warning during device remove - style & docs tweaks and typo fixes Changes from V3: - document that class id (device ops) must be specified in create() - add WARN() when trying to set class_id when it has already set - add WARN() when class_id is not specified in create() and correctly return an error in this case - correct the prototype of mdev_set_class() in the doc - add documention of mdev_set_class() - remove the unnecessary "class_id_fail" label when class id is not specified in create() - convert id_table in vfio_mdev to const - move mdev_set_class and its friends after mdev_uuid() - suqash the patch of bus uevent into patch of introducing class id - tweak the words in the docs per Cornelia suggestion - tie class_id and device ops through class specific initialization routine like mdev_set_vfio_ops() - typos fixes in the docs of virtio-mdev callbacks - document the usage of virtqueues in struct virtio_mdev_device - remove the useless vqs array in struct virtio_mdev_device - rename MDEV_ID_XXX to MDEV_CLASS_ID_XXX Changes from V2: - fail when class_id is not specified - drop the vringh patch - match the doc to the code - tweak the commit log - move device_ops from parent to mdev device - remove the unused MDEV_ID_VHOST Changes from V1: - move virtio_mdev.c to drivers/virtio - store class_id in mdev_device instead of mdev_parent - store device_ops in mdev_device instead of mdev_parent - reorder the patch, vringh fix comes first - really silent compiling warnings - really switch to use u16 for class_id - uevent and modpost support for mdev class_id - vraious tweaks per comments from Parav Changes from RFC-V2: - silent compile warnings on some specific configuration - use u16 instead u8 for class id - reseve MDEV_ID_VHOST for future vhost-mdev work - introduce "virtio" type for mvnet and make "vhost" type for future work - add entries in MAINTAINER - tweak and typos fixes in commit log Changes from RFC-V1: - rename device id to class id - add docs for class id and device specific ops (device_ops) - split device_ops into seperate headers - drop the mdev_set_dma_ops() - use device_ops to implement the transport API, then it's not a part of UAPI any more - use GFP_ATOMIC in mvnet sample device and other tweaks -
