Hi, 3 weeks ago, I posted a proposal 'Virtio Over Fabrics': https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-comment/202304/msg00442.html
Jason and Stefan pointed out that a non-vring based virtqueue has a chance to overwrite virtqueue instead of using vring virtqueue. Then I try to abstract virtqueue related methods in this series, the details changes see the comment of patch 'virtio: abstract virtqueue related methods'. Something is still remained: - __virtqueue_break/__virtqueue_unbreak is supposed to use by internal virtio core, I'd like to rename them to vring_virtqueue_break /vring_virtqueue_unbreak. Is this reasonable? - virtqueue_get_desc_addr/virtqueue_get_avail_addr/virtqueue_get_used_addr /virtqueue_get_vring is vring specific, I'd like to rename them like vring_virtqueue_get_desc_addr. Is this reasonable? - there are still some functions in virtio_ring.c with prefix *virtqueue*, for example 'virtqueue_add_split', just keep it or rename it to 'vring_virtqueue_add_split'? zhenwei pi (2): virtio: abstract virtqueue related methods tools/virtio: implement virtqueue in test drivers/virtio/virtio.c | 362 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c | 282 +++++---------------------- include/linux/virtio.h | 29 +++ tools/virtio/Makefile | 4 +- tools/virtio/linux/virtio.h | 30 +++ tools/virtio/virtqueue.c | 367 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 6 files changed, 842 insertions(+), 232 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tools/virtio/virtqueue.c -- 2.20.1 _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
