[PATCH v4 0/6] hyperv: VMBus implementation


From: Jon Doron
Subject: [PATCH v4 0/6] hyperv: VMBus implementation
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2020 15:34:38 +0300

This is a rebase of the old patchset from Roman for HyperV VMBus
implementation.

How to use:
-device vmbus-bridge

Later on new paravirtualized devices can be implemented on top of it
(Network/SCSI/etc.)

VMBus is a collection of technologies.  At its lowest layer, it's a message
passing and signaling mechanism, allowing efficient passing of messages to and
from guest VMs.  A layer higher, it's a mechanism for defining channels of
communication, where each channel is tagged with a type (which implies a
protocol) and a instance ID.  A layer higher than that, it's a bus driver,
serving as the basis of device enumeration within a VM, where a channel can
optionally be exposed as a paravirtual device.  When a server-side (paravirtual
back-end) component wishes to offer a channel to a guest VM, it does so by
specifying a channel type, a mode, and an instance ID.  VMBus then exposes this
in the guest.

More information about VMBus can be found in the file
vmbuskernelmodeclientlibapi.h in Microsoft's WDK.

v4:
Decided to ditch the patch that envolves handling of EOM as there is
still a discussion going on with it in the KVM mailing list.

v3:
Fixed an error asan

v2:
Rebased on top of latest patchset from Roman and Maciej

Jon Doron (6):
  hyperv: expose API to determine if synic is enabled
  vmbus: add vmbus protocol definitions
  vmbus: vmbus implementation
  i386:pc: whitelist dynamic vmbus-bridge
  i386: Hyper-V VMBus ACPI DSDT entry
  vmbus: add infrastructure to save/load vmbus requests
