Subject: [VIRTIO GPU PATCH v2 0/1] Add new feature flag VIRTIO_GPU_F_FREEZING
v2: Hi all, Thanks to Gerd Hoffmann for his suggestions. V2 makes below changes: * Elaborate on the types of resources. * Add some descriptions for S3 and S4. v1: Hi all, I am working to implement virtgpu S3 function on Xen. Currently on Xen, if we start a guest through Qemu with enabling virtgpu, and then suspend and s3resume guest. We can find that the guest kernel comes back, but the display doesn't. It just shown a black screen. That is because when guest was during suspending, it called into Qemu and Qemu destroyed all resources and reset renderer. This made the display gone after guest resumed. So, I add a mechanism that when guest is suspending, it will notify Qemu, and then Qemu will not destroy resources. That can help guest's display come back. As discussed and suggested by Robert Beckett and Gerd Hoffmann on v1 qemu's mailing list. Due to that mechanism needs cooperation between guest and host. What's more, as virtio drivers by design paravirt drivers, it is reasonable for guest to accept some cooperation with host to manage suspend/resume. So I request to add a new feature flag, so that guest and host can negotiate whenever freezing is supported or not. Attach the patches of Qemu and kernel: Qemu v1: https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20230608025655.1674357-2-Jiqian.Chen@amd.com/ v2: https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20230630070016.841459-1-Jiqian.Chen@amd.com/T/#t Kernel v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230608063857.1677973-1-Jiqian.Chen@amd.com/ v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230630073448.842767-1-Jiqian.Chen@amd.com/T/#t Best regards, Jiqian Chen.
