[PATCH kvmtool v2 00/13] Implement reset of virtio devices

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

 



Hi,

This series was developped by Jean-Philippe and is needed for a series
I'll be posting shortly after to load firmwares on arm kvmtool.

Currently, when a guest tries to reset a device, a lot of ressources
aren't reset (threads keep running, virtio queue keep their state, etc).

When the guest only does the reset to initialize the device and there
were no previous users, there is no noticeable issue. But when a guest
has a firmare + Linux, if the firmware uses a virtio device, Linux will
fail to probe that device.

This series aim to properly reset the virtio resources when the guests
requests it.

Reset of net vhost is unsupported for now.

Patch 1 is a bug fix on ioeventfd
Patch 2-6 provide the core support so devices can implement their reset
Patch 7-13 implements the reset for the various virtio devices

Changes since v1[1]:
- Fix build issue by removing reference to VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_NEEDS_RESET
