// Copyright © 2019 Intel Corporation // // SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0 // //! The internal VMM API for Cloud Hypervisor. //! //! This API is a synchronous, [mpsc](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/sync/mpsc/) //! based IPC for sending commands to the VMM thread, from other //! Cloud Hypervisor threads. The IPC follows a command-response protocol, i.e. //! each command will receive a response back. //! //! The main Cloud Hypervisor thread creates an API event file descriptor //! to notify the VMM thread about pending API commands, together with an //! API mpsc channel. The former is the IPC control plane, the latter is the //! IPC data plane. //! In order to use the IPC, a Cloud Hypervisor thread needs to have a clone //! of both the API event file descriptor and the channel Sender. Then it must //! go through the following steps: //! //! 1. The thread creates an mpsc channel for receiving the command response. //! 2. The thread sends an ApiRequest to the Sender endpoint. The ApiRequest //! contains the response channel Sender, for the VMM API server to be able //! to send the response back. //! 3. The thread writes to the API event file descriptor to notify the VMM //! API server about a pending command. //! 4. The thread reads the response back from the VMM API server, from the //! response channel Receiver. //! 5. The thread handles the response and forwards potential errors. extern crate micro_http; extern crate vmm_sys_util; pub use self::http::start_http_thread; pub mod http; use crate::config::VmConfig; use crate::vm::Error as VmError; use crate::{Error, Result}; use std::sync::mpsc::{channel, Sender}; use std::sync::Arc; use vmm_sys_util::eventfd::EventFd; /// API errors are sent back from the VMM API server through the ApiResponse. #[derive(Debug)] pub enum ApiError { /// The VM could not be created.
