VirtIO Related Work
===================
This is essentially a mind-map of bullet points as we work out what
concrete work items should be implemented by the TCWG Virt hackers
(most likely just me ;-)
Xen for Automotive ([LBI-24])
- Things that need doing
- support for virtio in core (i.e. not just emulated devices)
- support for virtio-iommu and sharing memory between guests
(ivshmemv2?)
- support virtio over ivshmemv2 (would native virtio be supported?)
- support for vhost over shared memory (zero copy device emulation)
- support isolating userspace emulation from hvm (vhost-user)
- Why?
- userspace emulation has performance benefits (exit-less, polling)
- growing number of virtio devices for that guests support
[LBI-24] <https://projects.linaro.org/browse/LBI-24>
Virtualizing Android ([LBI-38])
- Builds on Google's work on Cuttlefish
- New Android Device model using VirtIO (including VirtGPU) \o/!
- Used to run on QEMU, now targeting CrosVM
- Potential interest in using as a HAL layer
- Potential work items
- Better support for ARM in CrosVM
- Is QEMU of interest to members? (emulation & tooling - unlike
CrosVM)
- Is a virtualised Android HAL possible
- Where does Hafnium fit it?
