Hi, Next update: v7: - remove documentation update to be send separately - address comments from Mathieu Poirier (thanks) v6: - rename include/linux/virtio_rpmsg.h -> include/linux/rpmsg/virtio.h v5: - don't hard-code message layout v4: - add endianness conversions to comply with the VirtIO standard v3: - address several checkpatch warnings - address comments from Mathieu Poirier v2: - update patch #5 with a correct vhost_dev_init() prototype - drop patch #6 - it depends on a different patch, that is currently an RFC - address comments from Pierre-Louis Bossart: * remove "default n" from Kconfig Linux supports RPMsg over VirtIO for "remote processor" / AMP use cases. It can however also be used for virtualisation scenarios, e.g. when using KVM to run Linux on both the host and the guests. This patch set adds a wrapper API to facilitate writing vhost drivers for such RPMsg-based solutions. The first use case is an audio DSP virtualisation project, currently under development, ready for review and submission, available at https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/pull/1501/commits Thanks Guennadi Guennadi Liakhovetski (3): vhost: convert VHOST_VSOCK_SET_RUNNING to a generic ioctl rpmsg: move common structures and defines to headers vhost: add an RPMsg API drivers/rpmsg/virtio_rpmsg_bus.c | 78 +------ drivers/vhost/Kconfig | 7 + drivers/vhost/Makefile | 3 + drivers/vhost/rpmsg.c | 370 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/vhost/vhost_rpmsg.h | 74 +++++++ include/linux/rpmsg/virtio.h | 83 +++++++ include/uapi/linux/rpmsg.h | 3 + include/uapi/linux/vhost.h | 4 +- 8 files changed, 545 insertions(+), 77 deletions(-) create mode 100644 drivers/vhost/rpmsg.c create mode 100644 drivers/vhost/vhost_rpmsg.h create mode 100644 include/linux/rpmsg/virtio.h -- 2.28.0
