Support an inter-vm shared memory device that maps a shared-memory object as a PCI device in the guest. This patch also supports interrupts between guest by communicating over a unix domain socket. This patch applies to the qemu-kvm repository. -device ivshmem,size=<size in format accepted by -m>[,shm=<shm name>] Interrupts are supported between multiple VMs by using a shared memory server by using a chardev socket. -device ivshmem,size=<size in format accepted by -m>[,shm=<shm name>] [,chardev=<id>][,msi=on][,irqfd=on][,vectors=n] -chardev socket,path=<path>,id=<id> (shared memory server is qemu.git/contrib/ivshmem-server) Sample programs and init scripts are in a git repo here: www.gitorious.org/nahanni --- Makefile.target | 3 + hw/ivshmem.c | 727 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ qemu-char.c | 6 + qemu-char.h | 3 + qemu-doc.texi | 25 ++ 5 files changed, 764 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 hw/ivshmem.c diff --git a/Makefile.target b/Makefile.target index 1ffd802..bc9a681 100644 --- a/Makefile.target +++ b/Makefile.target @@ -199,6 +199,9 @@ obj-$(CONFIG_USB_OHCI) += usb-ohci.o obj-y += rtl8139.o obj-y += e1000.o +# Inter-VM PCI shared memory +obj-y += ivshmem.o + # Hardware support obj-i386-y = pckbd.o dma.o obj-i386-y += vga.o diff --git a/hw/ivshmem.c b/hw/ivshmem.c new file mode 100644 index 0000000..f8d8fdb --- /dev/null +++ b/hw/ivshmem.c @@ -0,0 +1,727 @@ +/* + * Inter-VM Shared Memory PCI device. + * + * Author: + * Cam Macdonell <cam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> + * + * Based On: cirrus_vga.c and rtl8139.c + * + * This code is licensed under the GNU GPL v2. + */ +#include <sys/mman.h> +#include <sys/types.h> +#include <sys/socket.h> +#include <sys/io.h> +#include <sys/ioctl.h> +#include <sys/eventfd.h> +#include "hw.h" +#include "console.h" +#include "pc.h" +#include "pci.h" +#include "sysemu.h" + +#include "msix.h" +#include "qemu-kvm.h" +#include "libkvm.h" + +#include <sys/eventfd.h> +#include <sys/mman.h> +#include <sys/socket.h> +#include <sys/ioctl.h> + +#define IVSHMEM_IRQFD 0 +#define IVSHMEM_MSI 1 + +#define DEBUG_IVSHMEM +#ifdef DEBUG_IVSHMEM +#define IVSHMEM_DPRINTF(fmt, args...) \ + do {printf("IVSHMEM: " fmt, ##args);
