vhost: make features 64 bit

2014-12-09T10:05:28+00:00

We need to use bit 32 for virtio 1.0.
Make vhost_has_feature bool to avoid discarding high bits.

vhost: move memory pointer to VQs

2014-06-09T13:21:07+00:00

commit 2ae76693b8bcabf370b981cd00c36cd41d33fabc
    vhost: replace rcu with mutex
replaced rcu sync for memory accesses with VQ mutex locl/unlock.
This is correct since all accesses are under VQ mutex, but incomplete:
we still do useless rcu lock/unlock operations, someone might copy this
code into some other context where this won't be right.
This use of RCU is also non standard and hard to understand.
Let's copy the pointer to each VQ structure, this way
the access rules become straight-forward, and there's
no need for RCU anymore.

vhost: move acked_features to VQs

2014-06-09T13:21:06+00:00

Refactor code to make sure features are only accessed
under VQ mutex. This makes everything simpler, no need
for RCU here anymore.

vhost: remove the dead branch

2013-12-06T20:22:05+00:00

Since vhost_dev_init() forever return 0, some branches are never run,
therefore need to be removed.

vhost: Remove custom vhost rcu usage

2013-07-11T12:38:40+00:00

Now, vq->private_data is always accessed under vq mutex. No need to play
the vhost rcu trick.

vhost: Make vhost a separate module

2013-07-07T14:33:44+00:00

Currently, vhost-net and vhost-scsi are sharing the vhost core code.
However, vhost-scsi shares the code by including the vhost.c file
directly.

Making vhost a separate module makes it is easier to share code with
other vhost devices.

vhost: check owner before we overwrite ubuf_info

2013-06-11T09:46:21+00:00

If device has an owner, we shouldn't touch ubuf_info
since it might be in use.
