Hello all, Here is a new iteration of the patch series that implements a transport for guest and host communications. I've tested for compatibility (old qemu & new kernel, new qemu & old kernel, new qemu & new kernel) and it all works fine. To maintain backward compatibility, the first port to be spawned (port at id 0) is to be a console port, to be bound to hvc. This keeps new host, old guest happy. Christian has tested the console functionality on s390. Please review and apply, Amit Amit Shah (1): virtio_console: Add support for multiple ports for generic guest and host communication drivers/char/Kconfig | 6 + drivers/char/virtio_console.c | 1290 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- include/linux/virtio_console.h | 50 ++- 3 files changed, 1210 insertions(+), 136 deletions(-) _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
