Expand description

Trait with interior mutability for vhost user backend servers to implement concrete services.

To support multi-threading and asynchronous IO, we enforce Send + Sync bound.

Required Methods

Get number of queues supported.

Get maximum queue size supported.

Get available virtio features.

Get available vhost protocol features.

Enable or disable the virtio EVENT_IDX feature

Update guest memory regions.

Handle IO events for backend registered file descriptors.

This function gets called if the backend registered some additional listeners onto specific file descriptors. The library can handle virtqueues on its own, but does not know what to do with events happening on custom listeners.

Provided Methods

Set acknowledged virtio features.

Get virtio device configuration.

A default implementation is provided as we cannot expect all backends to implement this function.

Set virtio device configuration.

A default implementation is provided as we cannot expect all backends to implement this function.

Set handler for communicating with the master by the slave communication channel.

A default implementation is provided as we cannot expect all backends to implement this function.

TODO: this interface is designed only for vhost-user-fs, it should be refined.

Get the map to map queue index to worker thread index.

A return value of [2, 2, 4] means: the first two queues will be handled by worker thread 0, the following two queues will be handled by worker thread 1, and the last four queues will be handled by worker thread 2.

Provide an optional exit EventFd for the specified worker thread.

If an (EventFd, token) pair is returned, the returned EventFd will be monitored for IO events by using epoll with the specified token. When the returned EventFd is written to, the worker thread will exit.
