Hello,

This patchset adds vhost-user-gpio device's support in Qemu. The support for the
same has already been added to virtio specification and Linux Kernel.

A Rust based backend is also in progress and is tested against this patchset:

https://github.com/rust-vmm/vhost-device/pull/76

I'm reluctant to add this with no tests in tree.
Want to write a minimal libhost-user based backend?
We also need some maintainers to step up.

This is going to be a problem going forward as we have more out-of-tree
backends written as a first preference. While the first couple of vhost
devices have C implementations in contrib before we worked on the rust
version I think we are getting to the point of skipping a first C
version for future devices.

However I notice we have qtest/vhost-user-test.c so would that be enough
to ensure we can instantiate the device and a basic vhost-user
initialisation sequence doesn't cause it to crap out. This obviously
won't be exercising the virtq processing itself but does that really
exercise any of QEMU's boilerplate anyway?

> We also need some maintainers to step up.

You mean more reviewers for the vhost and virtio sections of QEMU's
maintainers?

I actually have one already, that I wrote before attempting the Rust
counterpart, but never upstreamed as I am not sure if anyone is ever
going to use it, as I am not. And I thought what's the point of
merging code which I will never end up using.

I am not sure what test I can add here to make sure this doesn't
breaks in future though.

And I too was waiting for replies on these. I can surely write
something up if you guys feel there is a need. I just want to
understand it better.

something that executes with make check.

Not sure what to do then. Integrate using submodules somehow?

we do have tests e.g. for network based on vhost-user, yes.

So I'm waiting for v2 of this, right?

If you can give any pointers for how to properly instantiate the stub in
qtest then we can spin v2 pretty quickly. I tried but it didn't work:

it's all a bit opaque as to why it didn't.

A bit rushed short term, it this isn't resolved soon I'll try to help.
Maybe try CC other vhost-user maintainers (for blk,gpu etc) meanwhile.

I have expanded the CC list for this thread and the RFC patch to see if
anyone has pointers. I'll pull this series into my vhost cleanups series
for post 7.0.
