Hello, This adds a virtio based GPIO driver based on the proposed specification [1]. The first two versions [2] were sent by Enrico earlier and here is a newer version. I have retained the authorship of the work done by Enrico (1st patch) to make sure we don't loose his credits. I have tested all basic operations of the patchset (with Qemu guest) with the libgpiod utility. I have also tested the handling of interrupts on the guest side. All works as expected. I will now be working towards a Rust based hypervisor agnostic backend to provide a generic solution for that. This should be merged only after the specifications are merged, I will keep everyone posted for the same. I am not adding a version history here as a lot of changes have been made, from protocol to code and this really needs a full review from scratch. -- Viresh [1] https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-comment/202106/msg00022.html [2] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-gpio/20201203191135.21576-2-info@xxxxxxxxx/ Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult (1): gpio: Add virtio-gpio driver Viresh Kumar (2): gpio: virtio: Add IRQ support MAINTAINERS: Add entry for Virtio-gpio MAINTAINERS | 7 + drivers/gpio/Kconfig | 9 + drivers/gpio/Makefile | 1 + drivers/gpio/gpio-virtio.c | 566 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/uapi/linux/virtio_gpio.h | 56 +++ include/uapi/linux/virtio_ids.h | 1 + 6 files changed, 640 insertions(+) create mode 100644 drivers/gpio/gpio-virtio.c create mode 100644 include/uapi/linux/virtio_gpio.h -- 2.31.1.272.g89b43f80a514 _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
