This is intended to be used with the virtio video device being discussed here https://markmail.org/thread/ingyqlps4rbcuazh. I don't have a specific patch for how that will work, but it will likely be an extension to VIRTIO_VIDEO_T_RESOURCE_CREATE. > > +The response contains a uuid which identifies the exported object created > > from > > +the host private resource. > > Are the uuids as specified in rfc-4122? I guess we need to link to that spec > then I don't think it's terribly important to specify how the uuids are generated, as long as they're actually unique. That being said, I'm not opposed to defining them as rfc-4122 version 4 uuids. Although if we do that, it should go in the patch that defines what exported objects and uuids are in the context of virtio, not in the virtio-gpu section. > > Note that if the resource has an attached backing, > > +modifications made to the host private resource through the exported > > object by > > +other devices are not visible in the attached backing until they are > > transferred > > +into the backing. > > + > > s/host/device/? The virtio-gpu is based around "resources private to the host", to quote the existing specification. I think consistency with that language is important. -David --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: virtio-dev-unsubscr...@lists.oasis-open.org For additional commands, e-mail: virtio-dev-h...@lists.oasis-open.org
