[PATCH RFC 0/5] virtio_pci: modern driver

From: Michael S. Tsirkin
Date: Thu Dec 11 2014 - 14:37:36 EST


Based on Rusty's patches.
Coding style and funny jokes are his.
Bugs and a star wars reference (should be easy to spot) are mine.
Untested, but useful as basis for beginning the qemu work.

TODO:
= simplify probing: use a common probe function, probe with modern driver
first, if that fails - probe with legacy driver.
BUGS: ATM legacy driver can win and drive a transitional device
Until this is fixed, to test, disable transitional mode in device

More ideas (optional):
= allow disabling legacy driver
= support shared IRQ for config, read ISR
= allocate VQ ring in chunks, good for large rings
= use less meory for small VQ ring in chunks, good for large rings

General TODOs:
= add config generation support
= move alloc_virtqueue_pages to virtio core, reuse in e.g. ccw

Michael S Tsirkin (1):
pci: add pci_iomap_range

Michael S. Tsirkin (2):
virtio_pci: add VIRTIO_PCI_NO_LEGACY
virtio_pci: modern driver

Rusty Russell (2):
virtio-pci: define layout for virtio 1.0
virtio_pci: macros for PCI layout offsets.
