2020-12-08libvhost-user: make it a meson subprojectMarc-André Lureau
By making libvhost-user a subproject, check it builds standalone (without the global QEMU cflags etc). Note that the library still relies on QEMU include/qemu/atomic.h and linux_headers/.

2020-10-23libvhost-user: Allow vu_message_read to be replacedCoiby Xu
Allow vu_message_read to be replaced by one which will make use of the QIOChannel functions. Thus reading vhost-user message won't stall the guest. For slave channel, we still use the default vu_message_read.

2019-10-26core: replace getpagesize() with qemu_real_host_page_sizeWei Yang
There are three page size in qemu: real host page size host page size target page size All of them have dedicate variable to represent. For the last two, we use the same form in the whole qemu project, while for the first one we use two forms: qemu_real_host_page_size and getpagesize(). qemu_real_host_page_size is defined to be a replacement of getpagesize(), so let it serve the role.

2019-07-04libvhost-user: support many virtqueuesStefan Hajnoczi
Currently libvhost-user is hardcoded to at most 8 virtqueues. The device backend should decide the number of virtqueues, not libvhost-user. This is important for multiqueue device backends where the guest driver needs an accurate number of virtqueues. This change breaks libvhost-user and libvhost-user-glib API stability. There is no stability guarantee yet, so make this change now and update all in-tree library users. This patch touches up vhost-user-blk, vhost-user-gpu, vhost-user-input, vhost-user-scsi, and vhost-user-bridge. If the device has a fixed number of queues that exact number is used. Otherwise the previous default of 8 virtqueues is used. vu_init() and vug_init() can now fail if malloc() returns NULL. I considered aborting with an error in libvhost-user but it should be safe to instantiate new vhost-user instances at runtime without risk of terminating the process. Therefore callers need to handle the vu_init() failure now. vhost-user-blk and vhost-user-scsi duplicate virtqueue index checks that are already performed by libvhost-user. This code would need to be modified to use max_queues but remove it completely instead since it's redundant.

2018-01-16tests: Avoid 'do/while(false); ' in vhost-user-bridgeEric Blake
Use of a do/while(0) loop as a way to allow break statements in the middle of execute-once code is unusual. More typical is the use of goto for early exits, with a label at the end of the execute-once code, rather than nesting code in a scope; however, the comment at the end of the existing code makes this alternative a bit unpractical. So, to avoid false positives from a future syntax check about 'while (false);', and to keep the loop form (in case someone ever does add DONTWAIT support, where they can just as easily manipulate the initial loop condition or add an if around the final 'break'), I opted to use the form of a while(1) loop (the break as an early exit is more idiomatic there), coupled with a final break preserving the original comment.

2016-06-17tests/vhost-user-bridge: workaround stale vring baseMarc-André Lureau
This patch is a similar solution to what Yuanhan Liu/Huawei Xie have suggested for DPDK. When vubr quits (killed or crashed), a restart of vubr would get stale vring base from QEMU. That would break the kernel virtio net completely, making it non-work any more, unless a driver reset is done. So, instead of getting the stale vring base from QEMU, Huawei suggested we could get a proper one from used->idx. This works because the queues packets are processed in order.

2015-10-29tests/vhost-user-bridge: add vhost-user bridge applicationVictor Kaplansky
The test existing in QEMU for vhost-user feature is good for testing the management protocol, but does not allow actual traffic. This patch proposes Vhost-User Bridge application, which can serve the QEMU community as a comprehensive test by running real internet traffic by means of vhost-user interface. Essentially the Vhost-User Bridge is a very basic vhost-user backend for QEMU. It runs as a standalone user-level process. For packet processing Vhost-User Bridge uses an additional QEMU instance with a backend configured by "-net socket" as a shared VLAN. This way another QEMU virtual machine can effectively serve as a shared bus by means of UDP communication. For a more simple setup, the another QEMU instance running the SLiRP backend can be the same QEMU instance running vhost-user client. This Vhost-User Bridge implementation is very preliminary. It is missing many features. I has been studying vhost-user protocol internals, so I've written vhost-user-bridge bit by bit as I progressed through the protocol. Most probably its internal architecture will change significantly. To run Vhost-User Bridge application: 1. Build vhost-user-bridge with a regular procedure. This will create a vhost-user-bridge executable under tests directory: $ configure; make tests/vhost-user-bridge 2. Ensure the machine has hugepages enabled in kernel with command line like: default_hugepagesz=2M hugepagesz=2M hugepages=2048 3. Run Vhost-User Bridge with: $ tests/vhost-user-bridge The above will run vhost-user server listening for connections on UNIX domain socket /tmp/vubr.sock, and will try to connect by UDP to VLAN bridge to localhost:5555, while listening on localhost:4444 Run qemu with a virtio-net backed by vhost-user: $ qemu \ -enable-kvm -m 512 -smp 2 \ -object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=512M,mem-path=/dev/hugepages,share=on \ -numa node,memdev=mem -mem-prealloc \ -chardev socket,id=char0,path=/tmp/vubr.sock \ -netdev type=vhost-user,id=mynet1,chardev=char0,vhostforce \ -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=mynet1 \ -net none \ -net socket,vlan=0,udp=localhost:4444,localaddr=localhost:5555 \ -net user,vlan=0 \ disk.img vhost-user-bridge was tested very lightly: it's able to bringup a linux on client VM with the virtio-net driver, and execute transmits and receives to the internet. I tested with "wget redhat.com", "dig redhat.com". PS. I've consulted DPDK's code for vhost-user during Vhost-User Bridge implementation.
