Hi,
This series of patches adds support for running virtio GPUs in seperate processes, thanks to vhost-user backend.
The QEMU support landed for 4.1. There are several benefits of running the GPU/virgl in an external process, since Mesa is rather heavy on the qemu main loop, and may block for a while, or crash.
The external GPU process is started with one end of a socket pair, the other end is given to a QEMU chardev attached to a device. The external process is also added to the cgroup to limit resources usage.
Thanks
Since RFC: - discover helpers following the vhost-user spec - change vhost-user <video> model for a vhostuser attribute - add a patch to specify the rendernode on <accel> - change the way command line is built, following qemu series changes - socket labeling - a few cleanup patches - rebased
Can I get some reviews before I respin the series?
I rebased the series and fixed all the 'make syntax-check' errors, patches are here: https://github.com/crobinso/libvirt/tree/vhost-user-gpu I'll do a review tomorrow Thanks, Cole
