From fd66dbd424f5c90fcff3d27afed2c6c59d8be3ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Hajnoczi Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2022 14:58:57 -0400 Subject: blkio: add libblkio block driver libblkio (https://gitlab.com/libblkio/libblkio/) is a library for high-performance disk I/O. It currently supports io_uring, virtio-blk-vhost-user, and virtio-blk-vhost-vdpa with additional drivers under development. One of the reasons for developing libblkio is that other applications besides QEMU can use it. This will be particularly useful for virtio-blk-vhost-user which applications may wish to use for connecting to qemu-storage-daemon. libblkio also gives us an opportunity to develop in Rust behind a C API that is easy to consume from QEMU. This commit adds io_uring, nvme-io_uring, virtio-blk-vhost-user, and virtio-blk-vhost-vdpa BlockDrivers to QEMU using libblkio. It will be easy to add other libblkio drivers since they will share the majority of code. For now I/O buffers are copied through bounce buffers if the libblkio driver requires it. Later commits add an optimization for pre-registering guest RAM to avoid bounce buffers. The syntax is: --blockdev io_uring,node-name=drive0,filename=test.img,readonly=on|off,cache.direct=on|off --blockdev nvme-io_uring,node-name=drive0,filename=/dev/ng0n1,readonly=on|off,cache.direct=on --blockdev virtio-blk-vhost-vdpa,node-name=drive0,path=/dev/vdpa...,readonly=on|off,cache.direct=on --blockdev virtio-blk-vhost-user,node-name=drive0,path=vhost-user-blk.sock,readonly=on|off,cache.direct=on Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi Acked-by: Markus Armbruster Reviewed-by: Stefano Garzarella Message-id: 20221013185908.1297568-3-stefanha@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi --- meson_options.txt | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) (limited to 'meson_options.txt') diff --git a/meson_options.txt b/meson_options.txt index 79c6af18d5..66128178bf 100644 --- a/meson_options.txt +++ b/meson_options.txt @@ -117,6 +117,8 @@ option('bzip2', type : 'feature', value : 'auto', description: 'bzip2 support for DMG images') option('cap_ng', type : 'feature', value : 'auto', description: 'cap_ng support') +option('blkio', type : 'feature', value : 'auto', + description: 'libblkio block device driver') option('bpf', type : 'feature', value : 'auto', description: 'eBPF support') option('cocoa', type : 'feature', value : 'auto', -- cgit v1.2.3
