This series adds support for a vgpu display to the qemu vfio code.
v5:
- rebase to latest master
- drop DeviceState->hotpluggable patch, use separate vfio-pci-display
device instead so we can use DeviceClass->hotpluggable.
I can't imagine that management layers are going to be happy with this
approach, it's one thing to have certain USB controllers where the
version intimately tied to the machine chipset is not hotpluggable,
while standalone versions are, but having a fork of an entirely
standalone device for this purpose sounds very invasive. What does the
XML look like that would make libvirt select this option? I'm still
thinking that a separate display device, which vfio-pci can bind to as
a device option, not affecting the hotplug-ability of the vfio-pci
device itself is the correct, but clearly difficult, approach to this.
I can't agree to a separate device unless libvirt is willing to sign up
for enabling it.
Furthermore, if we take the separate device approach, shouldn't it be
something like vfio-pci-nohotplug, where display is an option only for
this version of the DeviceClass? Thanks,
Alex
- add vfio dma-buf patch. Right now this can be tested with
'-display
egl-headless' only. gtk and spice support is almost ready for merge
and should follow soon.
cheers,
