Series block/blkio: support fd passing for virtio-blk-vhost-vdpa driver | expand

Commit Message

Stefano Garzarella May 30, 2023, 7:19 a.m. UTC 
The virtio-blk-vhost-vdpa driver in libblkio 1.3.0 supports the fd
passing through the new 'fd' property.

Since now we are using qemu_open() on '@path' if the virtio-blk driver
supports the fd passing, let's announce it.
In this way, the management layer can pass the file descriptor of an
already opened vhost-vdpa character device. This is useful especially
when the device can only be accessed with certain privileges.

Add the '@fdset' feature only when the virtio-blk-vhost-vdpa driver
in libblkio supports it.

Notes:
    v5:
    - moved `features` to the object level to simplify libvirt code [Jonathon]
    - wrapped a line too long in the documentation [Markus]
    v4:
    - added this patch to allow libvirt to discover we support fdset [Markus]
