I didn't really look into the patch in-depth, so the code was intended
to give an idea of how the implementation would look like with
the cross-device patch API. Indeed, it is not the resource_id,
(I just took a brief look at the virtio specificacion 1.2), but the
underlying
resource what we want to use here.

So, if I understood correctly, dmabufs are just a subset of the resources
that the gpu manages, or can assign UUIDs to. I am not sure why
the virt gpu driver would want to send a ASSIGN_UUID for anything
that is not a dmabuf (are we sure it does?), but I am not super familiarized
with virtgpu to begin with.
But I see that internally, the GPU specs relate a UUID with a resource_id,
so we still need both tables:
- one to relate UUID with resource_id to be able to locate the underlying
resource
- the table that holds the dmabuf with the UUID for cross-device sharing

With that in mind, sounds to me that the support for cross-device sharing
could
be added on top of this patch, once
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2023-09/msg01850.html
lands.

I hope that makes sense.

As far as I understand, the feature to export dma-bufs from the
virtgpu was introduced as part of the virtio cross-device sharing
proposal [1]. Thus, it shall be posible. When virtgpu ASSING_UUID,
it exports and identifies the dmabuf resource, so that when the dmabuf gets
shared inside the guest (e.g., with virtio-video), we can use the assigned
UUID to find the dmabuf in the host (using the patch that I linked above),
and import it.

Hi Antonio,

If I'm not mistaken, this patch is related with:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2023-09/msg01853.html
IMHO, ideally, virtio-gpu and vhost-user-gpu both, would use the
infrastructure from the patch I linked to store the
virtio objects, so that they can be later shared with other devices.

Which, in terms of code, would mean changing:
g_hash_table_insert(g->resource_uuids,
GUINT_TO_POINTER(assign.resource_id), uuid);
by:
virtio_add_dmabuf(uuid, assign.resource_id);

...and simplify part of the infrastructure.

Let me know what you think.

Regard,
Albert
