The QEMU side implementation includes the vhost-user extension, vhost-pci device emulation and management. The current device part implementation is based on virtio 1.0, but it can be easily upgraded to support the upcoming virtio 1.1. The current QEMU implementation supports the polling mode driver on both sides to receive packets. More features, such as interrupt support, live migration support, protected memory accesses will be added later.I highly appreciate the effort you put in splitting the patch series and commenting each, although some are probably superfluous. Before going into details, I suppose you have kernel side bits too. I'd suggest before sending individual patches for review, that you send a RFC with links to the various git trees and instructions to test the proposed device. This would really help things and potentially bring more people for testing and comments (think about libvirt side etc). Even better would be to have some tests (with qtest).
The code is ready to try. I plan to clean up the driver to upstream when the QEMU device part is finalized.
The QEMU code is available at: git clone https://github.com/wei-w-wang/vhost-pci-device
The driver: git clone https://github.com/wei-w-wang/vhost-pci-driverI have a README.md under vhost-pci-device/ , which introduces the steps to try the implementation. I will rename the variables/fields that you mentioned in the v2 version. Thanks.
Best, Wei
