[PATCH 4/4] virtio: console: Add support for multiple devices and ports

Amit Shah amitshah at gmx.net
Fri Feb 5 04:50:34 UTC 2010


From: Amit Shah <amit.shah at redhat.com>

This commit backports virtio console functionality that will be
introduced in the 2.6.34 kernel for a guest-host communication channel.

See the Fedora feature page for more information:
  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/VirtioSerial

For easier to review, split-up patches, see the linux-next tree.

This commit adds support for multiple ports per virtio-console device
and also adds the ability to add multiple such devices. There's also
support for hotplugging and unplugging of ports, 'naming' of ports so
that userspace apps on the guest can identify the corresponding port on
the host.

 	  Virtio console for use with lguest and other hypervisors.
 
+	  Also serves as a general-purpose serial device for data
+	  transfer between the guest and host.  Character devices at
+	  /dev/vportNpn will be created when corresponding ports are
+	  found, where N is the device number and n is the port number
+	  within that device.  If specified by the host, a sysfs
+	  attribute called 'name' will be populated with a name for
+	  the port which can be used by udev scripts to create a
+	  symlink to the device.
