OVMF and other standard firmwares use I/O port 0x402 as a simple debug
port by writing ASCII characters to it. This is gated under a feature
that is not enabled by default.

After all the previous refactoring patches, we can finally create
multiple threads under the same backend. This is directly combined with
multiqueues so that it will create one thread per queue.

Anticipating the follow up patches to run multiple threads for the same
backend, we need the initialization of the disk to happen in the high
level structure VhostUserBlkBackend.

The DiskFile will need to be shared across multiple threads when running
multiple queues across these threads. That's why it needs to be put
inside an Arc. The reason for the Mutex is because execute() expects a
mutable object implementing Read + Write + Seek. Unfortunately, this
create a contention point as the object needs to be locked from each
thread, reducing the performance gain we will get with multiple threads.
The need for an immutable object would solve this problem, and it will
be addressed later through follow up patches.

Add an accessor to return the underlying VirtioDevice. This is useful

In order to support hotplugging there is a map of human readable device
id to PCI BDF map.
As the device id is part of the specific device configuration (e.g.
NetConfig) it is necessary to return the id through from the helper
functions that create the devices through to the functions that add
those devices to the bus. This necessitates changing a great deal of
function prototypes but otherwise has little impact.
Currently only if an id is supplied by the user as part of the device
configuration is it populated into this map. A later commit will
populate with an autogenerated name where none is supplied by the user.

In order to support freeing the memory that is allocated we need to make
sure that we update the internal representation so that free_bars() can
correctly free the memory if the device has its BARs moved.
Signed-off-by: Rob Bradford <robert.bradford@intel.com>
Implement the free_bars() method from the PciDevice trait which is used
as part of the device removal process. Although there is only one BAR
allocated by VirtioPciDevice simplify the code by using a vector.

Now that ownership of the memory regions used for the virtio-pmem and

Move the release of the managed memory region from the DeviceManager to

By implementing queues_per_thread(), this patch fills the last missing
bit to enable multithreaded multiqueue support for the vhost-user-net
backend implementation.

By adding a "thread_id" parameter to handle_event(), the backend crate
can now indicate to the backend implementation which thread triggered
the processing of some events.
This is applied to vhost-user-net backend and allows for simplifying a
lot the code since each thread is identical.

By adding the "thread_index" parameter to the function exit_event() from

In order to prepare for the support of multithreaded multiqueues, the
structure VhostUserNetThread is simplified to hold only one RX queue,
one TX queue, and one TAP interface.
Following this change, VhostUserNetBackend now holds a list of threads
instead of going through each thread to handle multiqueues.
These changes decouple neatly the abstraction between the backend and
each thread. This allows for a lot of simplification since we now know
all threads are identical, hence the handling of events becomes very
straightforward.
One important point is that each thread can be locked when in use,
without causing any contention with other threads since the backend
doesn't need to be locked anymore.

Now that multiple worker threads can be run from the backend crate, it

In order to support multiqueues running on multiple threads for
increasing the IO performances, this commit introduces a new function
queues_per_thread() to the VhostUserBackend trait.

By changing the mutability of this function, after adapting all
backends, we should be able to implement multithreads with

locking.

Both blk, net and fs backends have been updated to avoid the requirement
of having handle_event(&mut self). This will allow the backend crate to
avoid taking a write lock onto the backend object, which will remove the
potential contention point when multiple threads will be handling
multiqueues.
