* virtio: let header files include virtio_ids.hChristian Borntraeger2009-10-221-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rusty, commit 3ca4f5ca73057a617f9444a91022d7127041970a virtio: add virtio IDs file moved all device IDs into a single file. While the change itself is a very good one, it can break userspace applications. For example if a userspace tool wanted to get the ID of virtio_net it used to include virtio_net.h. This does no longer work, since virtio_net.h does not include virtio_ids.h. This patch moves all "#include <linux/virtio_ids.h>" from the C files into the header files, making the header files compatible with the old ones. In addition, this patch exports virtio_ids.h to userspace.

* virtio: add virtio IDs fileFernando Luis Vazquez Cao2009-09-231-3/+0
| | | | | | | | Virtio IDs are spread all over the tree which makes assigning new IDs bothersome. Putting them together should make the process less error-prone. Signed-off-by: Fernando Luis Vazquez Cao <fernando@oss.ntt.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* virtio: avoid implicit use of Linux page size in balloon interfaceHollis Blanchard2008-12-301-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | Make the balloon interface always use 4K pages, and convert Linux pfns if necessary. This patch assumes that Linux's PAGE_SHIFT will never be less than 12. Signed-off-by: Hollis Blanchard <hollisb@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> (modified)
* virtio: clarify that ABI is usable by any implementationsRusty Russell2008-07-251-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | We want others to implement and use virtio, so it makes sense to BSD license the non-__KERNEL__ parts of the headers to make this crystal clear.

* virtio: balloon driverRusty Russell2008-02-041-0/+18
After discussions with Anthony Liguori, it seems that the virtio balloon can be made even simpler. Here's my attempt. The device configuration tells the driver how much memory it should take from the guest (ie. balloon size). The guest feeds the page numbers it has taken via one virtqueue. A second virtqueue feeds the page numbers the driver wants back: if the device has the VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_MUST_TELL_HOST bit, then this queue is compulsory, otherwise it's advisory (and the guest can simply fault the pages back in). This driver can be enhanced later to deflate the balloon via a shrinker, oom callback or we could even go for a complete set of in-guest regulators.
