Instead of terminating the virtio device in a host userspace process it terminates the device in a VM. The design lessons from vhost-user still apply though.

VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_DEVICE_INFO_ACK(ADD_FAIL): It indicates that the +vhost-pci driver fails to add the frontend device to its support list. The +server SHOULD send a VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_DEVICE_INFO_ACK(ADD_FAIL) socket +message to the corresponding client. + +1.5.2 Driver Requirements: Device Initialization +The vhost-pci driver SHOULD acknowledge the vhost-pci device via the control +receiveq if it succeeds to handle the received controlq message or not. +The vhost-pci driver MUST NOT accept any feature bits that are not offered +by the remote feature bits. + +When the vhost-pci driver receives a VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_DEVICE_INFO(ADD) +controlq message, it MUST initialize the corresponding driver interfaces of +the device type if they are not initialized, and add the device id to the +support list that records all the frontend devices being supported by +vhost-pci for inter-VM communications. + +1.6 Device Operation +1.6.1 Device Requirements: Device Operation +1.6.1.1 The Frontend Device (Client) +When the frontend device changes any info (e.g. device_id, virtq address) +that it has sent to the vhost-pci device, it MUST send a +VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_DEVICE_INFO(ADD) socket message to the server. The +vhost-pci device SHOULD put a VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_DEVICE_INFO(ADD) controlq +message to the control transmitq, and inject a controlq interrupt to the VM. + +When the frontend virtio device is removed (e.g. being hot-plugged out), the +client SHOULD send a VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_DEVICE_INFO(DEL) socket message to the +server. + +Before the driver VM is destroyed or migrated, all the clients that connect to +the server SHOULD send a VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_DEVICE_INFO(DEL) socket message to +the server. The destroying or migrating activity MUST wait until all the +VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_DEVICE_INFO_ACK(DEL_DONE) socket messages are received. + +When the driver VM hot-adds or hot-removes memory, it SHOULD send a +VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_MEMORY_INFO(ADD) socket message or +VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_MEMORY_INFO(DEL) socket message to the server. + +4.6.1.2 The Vhost-pci Device (Server) +When the server receives a VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_DEVICE_INFO(ADD) or +VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_DEVICE_INFO(DEL) socket message, it SHOULD put a +VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_DEVICE_INFO(ADD) or +VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_DEVICE_INFO(DEL) message to the control transmitq, +and inject a controlq interrupt to the VM. It may receive the following ACK +controlq messages from the driver: +1. VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_DEVICE_INFO_ACK(ADD_DONE): It indicates that the driver +has successfully updated the device info. The server SHOULD send a +VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_DEVICE_INFO_ACK(ADD_DONE) socket message to the +corresponding client. +2. VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_DEVICE_INFO(ADD_FAIL): It indicates that the driver +fails to update the device info. The server SHOULD send a +VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_DEVICE_INFO_ACK(ADD_FAIL) socket message to the +corresponding client. +3. VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_DEVICE_INFO_ACK(DEL_DONE): It indicates that the driver +has successfully removed the vhost-pci support for the frontend device. The +server SHOULD send a VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_DEVICE_INFO_ACK(DEL_DONE) socket +message to the corresponding client. +4. VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_DEVICE_INFO_ACK(DEL_FAIL): It indicates that the driver +fails to remove the vhost-pci support for the frontend device. The server +SHOULD send a VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_DEVICE_INFO_ACK(DEL_FAIL) socket message to +the corresponding client. + +When there is no client of a driver VM connecting to the vhost-pci device, +the server SHOULD destroy the vhost-pci device for that driver VM. + +When the server receives a VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_MEMORY_INFO(ADD) socket message, +it calculates the total size of the received memory. If the new memory size +plus the mapped memory size is smaller than the address space size reserved by +the bar, the server SHOULD map the new memory and expose it to the VM via the +QEMU MemoryRegion mechanism. Then it SHOULD put a +VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_MEMORY_INFO(ADD) controlq message to the control transmitq, +and inject a controlq interrupt to the VM. + +If the new memory size plus the mapped memory size is larger than the address +space size reserved by the bar, the server SHOULD +1. clone out a new vhost-pci device; +2. configure the bar size to be double of the current memory size; and +3. hot-plug out the old vhost-pci device, and hot-plug in the new vhost-pci +device to the VM. + +The initialization steps SHOULD follow 1.5 Device Initialization, except the +interaction messages between the server and client are not needed. + +The server may receive the following two memory info add related ACK controlq +messages from the driver: +1. VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_MEMORY_INFO_ACK(ADD_DONE): It indicates that the driver +has successfully added the new memory info support. The server SHOULD send a +VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_MEMORY_INFO_ACK(ADD_DONE) socket message to the corresponding +client. +2. VHOST_PCI_MSF_TYPE_MEMORY_INFO_ACK(ADD_FAIL): It indicates that the driver +fails to add the new memory info support. The server SHOULD send a +VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_MEMORY_INFO_ACK(ADD_FAIL) socket message to the corresponding +client. + +When the server receives a VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_MEMORY_INFO(DEL) socket message, +it SHOULD put a VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_MEMORY_INFO(DEL) controlq message to the +control transmitq, and inject a controlq interrupt to the VM. The server may +receive the following two memory ACK controlq messages from the driver: +1. VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_MEMORY_INFO_ACK(DEL_DONE): It indicates that the driver +has successfully deleted the memory info support. The server SHOULD send a +VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_MEMORY_INFO_ACK(DEL_DONE) socket message to the +corresponding client. +2. VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_MEMORY_INFO_ACK(DEL_FAIL): It indicates that the driver +fails to delete the memory info support. The server SHOULD send a +VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_MEMORY_INFO_ACK(DEL_FAIL) message to the corresponding +client. + +1.6.2 Driver Requirements: Device Operation +The vhost-pci driver SHOULD ensure that all the CPUs are noticed about the +VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_MEMORY_INFO(DEL) and VHOST_PCI_MSG_TYPE_DEVICE_INFO(DEL) +controlq messages before acknowledging the server.
We introduce the vhost-pci design in the virtio specification format. To follow the naming conventions in the virtio specification, we call the VM who sends packets to the destination VM the device VM, and the VM who provides the vring and receives packets the driver VM.
