As virtio-mem is now supported in the upstream kernel we can switch to

This opens the backing file read-only, makes the pages in the mmap()
read-only and also makes the KVM mapping read-only. The file is also
mapped with MAP_PRIVATE to make the changes local to this process only.
This is functional alternative to having support for making a
virtio-pmem device readonly. Unfortunately there is no concept of
readonly virtio-pmem (or any type of NVDIMM/PMEM) in the Linux kernel so
to be able to have a block device that is appears readonly in the guest
requires significant specification and kernel changes.

This table currently contains only all the VFIO devices and it should
really contain all the PCI devices.

Previously this was only returned if the device had an IOMMU mapping and
whether the device should be added to the virtio-iommu. This was already
captured earlier as part of creating the device so use that information
instead.
Always returning the B/D/F is helpful as it facilitates virtio PCI
device hotplug.

Implement missing support for FUSE_LSEEK, which basically implies
calling to libc::lseek on the file handle. As this operation alters
the file offset, we take a write lock on the File's RwLock.

On x86_64, a hint to the compiler is not enough, we need to issue a
MFENCE instruction. Replace the Acquire fence with a SeqCst one.
Without this, it's still possible to miss an used_event update,
leading to the omission of a notification, possibly stalling the
vring.

We set it to 0xff, which is for unregistered loaders.
The kernel checks that the bootloader ID is set when e.g. loading
ramdisks, so not setting it when we get a bootparams header from the
loader will prevent the kernel from loading ramdisks.

Virtiofs's dax window can be used as read/write's source (e.g. mmap a file
on virtiofs), but the dax window area is not shared with vhost-user
backend, i.e. virtiofs daemon.
To make those IO work, addresses of this kind of IO source are routed to
VMM via FS_IO requests to perform a read/write from an fd directly to the
given GPA.
This adds the support of FS_IO request to clh's vhost-user-fs master part.

Use a new feature called "pvh_boot" to enable using the PVH boot
protocol if the guest kernel supports it. The feature can be enabled
by building with:
cargo build [--release] --features "pvh_boot"
Once performance has been evaluated, this can be made part of the
default set of features so that any guest that supports it boots
using PVH as the preferred option as is the case in QEMU.

In order to properly initialize the kvm regs/sregs structs for

in the vCPU configuration methods to setup the appropriate

Extended attributes (xattr) support has a huge impact on write
performance. The reason for this is that, if enabled, FUSE sends a
setxattr request after each write operation, and due to the inode
locking inside the kernel during said request, the ability to execute
the operations in parallel becomes heavily limited.
Signed-off-by: Sergio Lopez <slp@redhat.com>
This change enables vhost_user_fs to process multiple requests in
parallel by scheduling them into a ThreadPool (from the Futures
crate).
Parallelism on a single file is limited by the nature of the operation
executed on it. A recent commit replaced the Mutex that protects the
File within HandleData with a RwLock, to allow some operations (at
this moment, only "read" and "write") to proceed in parallel by
acquiring a read lock.
A more complex approach was also implemented [1], involving
instrumentation through vhost_user_backend to be able to serialize
completions, reducing the pressure on the vring RwLock. This strategy
improved the performance on some corner cases, while making it worse
on other, more common ones. This fact, in addition to it requiring
wider changes through the source code, prompted me to drop it in favor
of this one.

"DescriptorChain"s are tied to the lifetime of the referenced
GuestMemoryMmap object (for good reasons), but sometimes (i.e., when
processing descriptors from different contexts) we may need to switch
them to point a different GuestMemoryMmap.
Here we introduce the structure DescriptorHead, which holds the data
needed to rebuild a DescriptorChain, the method "get_head" which
returns the DescriptorHead for a DescriptorChain, and the method
"new_from_head", which allows to create a new DescriptorChain with a
DescriptorHead and a new reference to a GuestMemoryMmap.
