Subject: [PATCH v4 4/5] vhost-user: update shared memory capability
The virtio vhost-user device has shared memory resources. Therefore, it uses the VIRTIO_PCI_CAP_SHARED_MEMORY_CFG capability to standardize those resources through the PCI Configuration Space. This patch synchronizes the virtio vhost-user device spec with the following shared memory resources PATCH: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-dev/201902/msg00142.html Cc: Dr. David Alan Gilbert <dgilbert@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Nikos Dragazis <ndragazis@arrikto.com> --- virtio-vhost-user.tex | 17 ++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/virtio-vhost-user.tex b/virtio-vhost-user.tex index 7a8cd9c..d1305dd 100644 --- a/virtio-vhost-user.tex +++ b/virtio-vhost-user.tex @@ -320,7 +320,22 @@ \subsubsection{Notification structure layout}\label{sec:Device Types / Vhost-use \subsubsection{Shared memory capability}\label{sec:Device Types / Vhost-user Device Backend / Additional Device Resources over PCI / Shared Memory capability} The shared memory location is found using the VIRTIO_PCI_CAP_SHARED_MEMORY_CFG -capability. +capability.
