This series includes the core framework for the VFIO driver. VFIO is a userspace driver interface meant to replace both the KVM device assignment code as well as interfaces like UIO. Please see patch 1/5 for a complete description of VFIO, what it can do, and how it's designed. This version and the VFIO PCI bus driver, for exposing PCI devices through VFIO, can be found here: git://github.com/awilliam/linux-vfio.git vfio-next-20111221 A development version of qemu which includes a full working vfio-pci driver, indepdendent of KVM support, can be found here: git://github.com/awilliam/qemu-vfio.git vfio-ng Thanks, Alex PS - I'll be mostly unavailable over the holidays, but wanted to get this out for review and comparison to the isolation APIs being proposed. --- Alex Williamson (5): vfio: VFIO core Kconfig and Makefile vfio: VFIO core IOMMU mapping support vfio: VFIO core group interface vfio: VFIO core header vfio: Introduce documentation for VFIO driver Documentation/ioctl/ioctl-number.txt | 1 Documentation/vfio.txt | 352 ++++++++++ MAINTAINERS | 8 drivers/Kconfig | 2 drivers/Makefile | 1 drivers/vfio/Kconfig | 8 drivers/vfio/Makefile | 3 drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu.c | 593 +++++++++++++++++ drivers/vfio/vfio_main.c | 1201 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/vfio/vfio_private.h | 36 + include/linux/vfio.h | 353 ++++++++++ 11 files changed, 2558 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 Documentation/vfio.txt create mode 100644 drivers/vfio/Kconfig create mode 100644 drivers/vfio/Makefile create mode 100644 drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu.c create mode 100644 drivers/vfio/vfio_main.c create mode 100644 drivers/vfio/vfio_private.h create mode 100644 include/linux/vfio.h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
