This series introduce a vfio driver over virtio devices to support the legacy interface functionality for VFs. Background, from the virtio spec [1]. -------------------------------------------------------------------- In some systems, there is a need to support a virtio legacy driver with a device that does not directly support the legacy interface. In such scenarios, a group owner device can provide the legacy interface functionality for the group member devices. The driver of the owner device can then access the legacy interface of a member device on behalf of the legacy member device driver. For example, with the SR-IOV group type, group members (VFs) can not present the legacy interface in an I/O BAR in BAR0 as expected by the legacy pci driver. If the legacy driver is running inside a virtual machine, the hypervisor executing the virtual machine can present a virtual device with an I/O BAR in BAR0. The hypervisor intercepts the legacy driver accesses to this I/O BAR and forwards them to the group owner device (PF) using group administration commands. -------------------------------------------------------------------- The first 7 patches are in the virtio area and handle the below: - Introduce the admin virtqueue infrastcture. - Expose APIs to enable upper layers as of vfio, net, etc to execute admin commands. - Expose the layout of the commands that should be used for supporting the legacy access. The above follows the virtio spec that was lastly accepted in that area [1]. The last 4 patches are in the vfio area and handle the below: - Expose some APIs from vfio/pci to be used by the vfio/virtio driver. - Expose admin commands over virtio device. - Introduce a vfio driver over virtio devices to support the legacy interface functionality for VFs. The series was tested successfully over virtio-net VFs in the host, while running in the guest both modern and legacy drivers.
