Re: [PATCH v2 4/4] tools: usb: p9_fwd: add usb gadget packet forwarder script

Hi Michael,

This patch is adding an small python tool to forward 9pfs requests
from the USB gadget to an existing 9pfs TCP server. Since currently all
9pfs servers lack support for the usb transport this tool is an useful
helper to get started.
Refer the Documentation section "USBG Example" in
Documentation/filesystems/9p.rst on how to use it.

v1 -> v2:
- added usbg 9pfs detailed instructions to 9p.rst doc

where mount_tag is the tag associated by the usb gadget transport. The
pattern is usb9pfs0, usb9pfs1, ...
+USBG Example
+============
+
+The USB host exports a filesystem, while the gadget on the USB device
+side makes it mountable.
+
+Diod (9pfs server) and the forwarder are on the development host, where
+the root filesystem is actually stored. The gadget is initialized during
+boot (or later) on the embedded board. Then the forwarder will find it
+on the USB bus and start forwarding requests.
+
+In this case the 9p requests come from the device and are handled by the
+host. The reason is that USB device ports are normally not available on
+PCs, so a connection in the other direction would not work.
+
+When using the usbg transport, for now there is no native usb host
+service capable to handle the requests from the gadget driver. For
+this we have to use the extra python tool p9_fwd.py from tools/usb.
+
+Just start the 9pfs capable network server like diod/nfs-ganesha e.g.:
+
+ $ diod -f -n -d 0 -S -l 0.0.0.0:9999 -e $PWD
+
+Then start the python transport:
+
+ $ python $kernel_dir/tools/usb/p9_fwd.py -p 9999
+
+After that the gadget driver can be used as described above.
Hmm... The "described above" portion refers to <mount_tag>. How do I get my
<mount_tag> if I run diod combined with p9_fwd.py?
Regards,
Andrzej
+
+One use-case is to use it as an alternative to NFS root booting during
+the development of embedded Linux devices.
