[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 00/13] vhost-user for input & GPU

[Marc-André Lureau]

Hi,

vhost-user allows to drive a virtio device in a seperate
process. After vhost-user-net, we have seen
vhost-user-{scsi,blk,crypto} added more recently.

This series, initially proposed ~3 years ago, time flies
(https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-06/msg01905.html)
contributes with vhost-user-input and vhost-user-gpu.

You may start a vhost-user-gpu with virgl rendering in a separate
process like this:

$ ./vhost-user-gpu --virgl -s vgpu.sock &
$ qemu...
  -chardev socket,id=chr,path=vgpu.sock
  -device vhost-user-vga,chardev=chr

v5:
 - remove user-creatable version of vhost-user-backend
 - remove optinal management of sub-process in vhost-user-backend
 - removed daemonize/pid code
 - drop introduction of new input & gpu messages for PCI config space
   handling, instead use VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_CONFIG
 - plain mem & udmabuf fallback for 2d rendering
 - rebased, kconfig-ify, rst-ify
