Date: Tue, 28 Aug 2007 13:52:36 -0500 From: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@...il.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: lguest@...abs.org, v9fs-developer@...ts.sourceforge.net, kvm-devel@...ts.sourceforge.net Subject: [RFC] 9p Virtualization Transports This patch set contains a set of virtualization transports for the 9p file system intended to provide a mechanism for guests to access a portion of the hosts name space without having to go through a virtualized network. Shared memory based transports are provided for lguest using a variation of the lguest console code and for KVM using a synthetic PCI device. The patches to the qemu portion of the latter will be posted to the kvm-devel list later today. Also provided is a much older hack implementation which was used on XenPPC to communicated between Dom0 and DomU as part of the PROSE (http://www.research.ibm.com/prose) and Libra projects. It is not our intent to push the Xen shared memory transport into the kernel, but we are providing it in this patch-set for historical reference. The lguest and kvm transports are functional, but we are still working out remaining bugs and need to spend some time focusing on performance issues. I wanted to send out this "preview" patch set to the community to solicit ideas on things we can do differently/better. -eric - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
