[Virtio-fs] [PATCH v3 00/20] virtio: add vhost-user-generic, reduce c&p and support standalone

[Alex Bennée]

A lot of our vhost-user stubs are large chunks of boilerplate that do
(mostly) the same thing. This series attempts to fix that by defining
a new base class (vhost-user-base) which is used by a generic
vhost-user-device implementation. Then the rng, gpio and i2c
vhost-user devices become simple specialisations of the common base
defining the ID, number of queues and potentially the config handling.

However as of v3 we go a bit further and introduce a new protocol
feature called F_STANDALONE which adds some messages to vhost-user
that allow the daemon to fully advertise its capabilities.

Example
=======

Using the vhost-device-rng built from this branch (draft PR):

  https://github.com/rust-vmm/vhost-device/pull/394

You can start QEMU with an even simpler command line:

  -chardev socket,id=vus,path=/tmp/vus.sock0 \
  -device vhost-user-device-pci,chardev=vus \
  -d trace:vhost_\*,trace:vhost_user\*

which doesn't specify any queues or config space but gets it from the
daemon as it starts up. This does involve a bit of shuffling around in
the guts of the vhost code so currently it is RFC status.

Anything for 8.1?
=================

mst,

I don't know if you want to cherry pick anything up to and including:

  hw/virtio: derive vhost-user-i2c from vhost-user-base

which is at least a cleanup. However I'm on holiday for the next 3 or
so weeks so it's perfectly ok to leave this as 8.2 material if you
want.

Alex.
