Hello, This adds Virtio GPIO driver based on the proposed specification [1]. The specification for basic GPIO operations is already reviewed by Linus and Arnd, while the IRQ stuff is still under discussion and not finalized. I am sharing the code, so everyone gets more clarity on how it will work eventually in Linux. I have tested this patchset with Qemu guest with help of the libgpiod utility. I have also tested basic handling of interrupts on the guest side. It works as expected. The host side virtio-backend isn't ready yet and my tests only tested the flow control between guest and host, but didn't play with real GPIO pins. That will be done once I have a working backend in place (WIP). V3->V4: - Lots of changes, as the specification changed too much. Better forget everything we have done until now :) -- Viresh [1] https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-dev/202107/msg00232.html Viresh Kumar (2): gpio: Add virtio-gpio driver gpio: virtio: Add IRQ support MAINTAINERS | 7 + drivers/gpio/Kconfig | 10 + drivers/gpio/Makefile | 1 + drivers/gpio/gpio-virtio.c | 648 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/uapi/linux/virtio_gpio.h | 72 ++++ 5 files changed, 738 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
