[Xen-devel] [PATCH v5 0/1] Add support for Xen access to vmport



Changes v4 to v5:
  Paul Durrant
    vmware_ioreq_t struct is not really a request any more. Maybe
    vmware_regs_t?
      Renamed various parts from vmware_ioreq to vmware_regs.  Also
      HVM_PARAM_VMPORT_IOREQ_PFN to HVM_PARAM_VMPORT_REGS_PFN.
    cpu_by_ioreq_id name implies the array is indexed by an id
    carries in the ioreq.
      Renamed cpu_by_ioreq_id to cpu_by_vcpu_id.
    Is cpu_get_vmport_ioreq_from_shared_memory worth its own
    function?
      Moved in-line.
    I don't think you need the barrier anyway.
      Dropped the barrier.
    Oh, I now realize you mean the same theoretical rather than
    actual limit, in which case this can be a build time check
    anyway.
      Switch to build time check, move to a better place.
    You could avoid passing state to both of them by setting
    current_cpu here couldn't you?
      Yes, moved state usage to handle_vmport_ioreq().

  Stefano Stabellini
    Error out if it fails with error != -ENOSYS.
      Done.

Changes RFC-v2x to v4:
  Stefano Stabellini
    Please try to get rid of the #ifdefs.
      Moved 2 #ifdefs into hw/xen/xen_common.h

Changes v2 to RFC-v2x:
  Paul Durrant
    Use a 2nd shared page.
      Added HVM_PARAM_VMPORT_IOREQ_PFN usage.

Changes v1 to v2:
   More info in commit message.

  Stefano Stabellini
    the registers being passes explicitely by Xen rather than
    "hiding" them into other ioreq fields.
       Added vmware_ioreq_t
  Paolo Bonzini & Alexander Graf
    Fixup env access
      Added cpu_by_ioreq_id.
      Set current_cpu in regs_to_cpu(), clear in regs_from_cpu().
      Drop all changes to vmport.c

Note: to use this with Xen either a version of:

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] -machine vmport=off: Allow disabling of VMWare ioport 
emulation

needs to be done to QEMU.

And the Xen RFC patch:

[RFC][PATCH v2 1/1] Add IOREQ_TYPE_VMWARE_PORT

needs to be done to Xen.
