Hi, The original email is from 2009, so I assume you don't have it in your inboxes already. Here is the original email: https://lore.kernel.org/all/200906190927.34831.borntraeger@xxxxxxxxxx/ > This patch introduces a prototype for a virtio_test module. This module can > be bound to any virtio device via sysfs bind/unbind feature, e.g: > $ echo virtio1 > /sys/bus/virtio/drivers/virtio_rng/unbind > $ modprobe virtio_test > > On probe this module registers to all virtqueues and creates a character > device for every virtio device. (/dev/viotest<number>). > The character device offers ioctls to allow a userspace application to submit > virtio operations like addbuf, kick and getbuf. It also offers ioctls to get > information about the device and to query the amount of occurred callbacks (or > wait synchronously on callbacks). As far as I understand the test driver was never merged and I can't find any similar testing drivers. I am looking for a test module that allows to create a transient virtio device that can be used to activate a virtio driver are communicate with it as if from the host. Does such thing exist already? Or how are virtio transports/drivers tested/fuzzed nowadays? Thanks
