Subject: [PATCH v4 00/12] vhost-user: support any POSIX system (tested on macOS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD)
Date: Wed,  8 May 2024 09:44:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240508074457.12367-1-sgarzare@redhat.com> (raw)

v1: https://patchew.org/QEMU/20240228114759.44758-1-sgarzare@redhat.com/
v2: https://patchew.org/QEMU/20240326133936.125332-1-sgarzare@redhat.com/
v3: https://patchew.org/QEMU/20240404122330.92710-1-sgarzare@redhat.com/
v4:
  - rebased on master (commit e116b92d01c2cd75957a9f8ad1d4932292867b81)
  - added patch 6 to move using QEMU bswap helper functions in a separate
    patch (Phil)
  - fail if we find "share=off" in shm_backend_memory_alloc() (David)
  - added Phil's R-b and David's A-b

The vhost-user protocol is not really Linux-specific, so let's try support
QEMU's frontends and backends (including libvhost-user) in any POSIX system
with this series. The main use case is to be able to use virtio devices that
we don't have built-in in QEMU (e.g. virtiofsd, vhost-user-vsock, etc.) even
in non-Linux systems.

The first 5 patches are more like fixes discovered at runtime on macOS or
FreeBSD that could go even independently of this series.

Patches 6, 7, 8, and 9 enable building of frontends and backends (including
libvhost-user) with associated code changes to succeed in compilation.

Patch 10 adds `memory-backend-shm` that uses the POSIX shm_open() API to
create shared memory which is identified by an fd that can be shared with
vhost-user backends. This is useful on those systems (like macOS) where
we don't have memfd_create() or special filesystems like "/dev/shm".

Patches 11 and 12 use `memory-backend-shm` in some vhost-user tests.

Maybe the first 5 patches can go separately, but I only discovered those
problems after testing patches 6 - 9, so I have included them in this series
for now. Please let me know if you prefer that I send them separately.

I tested this series using vhost-user-blk and QSD on macOS Sonoma 14.4
(aarch64), FreeBSD 14 (x86_64), OpenBSD 7.4 (x86_64), and Fedora 39 (x86_64)
in this way:

- Start vhost-user-blk or QSD (same commands for all systems)

  vhost-user-blk -s /tmp/vhost.socket \
    -b Fedora-Cloud-Base-39-1.5.x86_64.raw

  qemu-storage-daemon \
    --blockdev file,filename=Fedora-Cloud-Base-39-1.5.x86_64.qcow2,node-name=file \
    --blockdev qcow2,file=file,node-name=qcow2 \
    --export vhost-user-blk,addr.type=unix,addr.path=/tmp/vhost.socket,id=vub,num-queues=1,node-name=qcow2,writable=on

- macOS (aarch64): start QEMU (using hvf accelerator)

  qemu-system-aarch64 -smp 2 -cpu host -M virt,accel=hvf,memory-backend=mem \
    -drive file=./build/pc-bios/edk2-aarch64-code.fd,if=pflash,format=raw,readonly=on \
    -device virtio-net-device,netdev=net0 -netdev user,id=net0 \
    -device ramfb -device usb-ehci -device usb-kbd \
    -object memory-backend-shm,id=mem,size=512M \
    -device vhost-user-blk-pci,num-queues=1,disable-legacy=on,chardev=char0 \
    -chardev socket,id=char0,path=/tmp/vhost.socket

- FreeBSD/OpenBSD (x86_64): start QEMU (no accelerators available)

  qemu-system-x86_64 -smp 2 -M q35,memory-backend=mem \
    -object memory-backend-shm,id=mem,size="512M" \
    -device vhost-user-blk-pci,num-queues=1,chardev=char0 \
    -chardev socket,id=char0,path=/tmp/vhost.socket

- Fedora (x86_64): start QEMU (using kvm accelerator)

  qemu-system-x86_64 -smp 2 -M q35,accel=kvm,memory-backend=mem \
    -object memory-backend-shm,size="512M" \
    -device vhost-user-blk-pci,num-queues=1,chardev=char0 \
    -chardev socket,id=char0,path=/tmp/vhost.socket
