In this patchset refactoring of virtio-mmio layer is made.
Instead of creating virtio-blk-mmio, virtio-net-mmio, etc on the
system bus
we create virtio-blk, virtio-net, etc devices on the
virtio-transport bus.
To create virtio-transport bus virtio-mmio-transport device provided.
Transport device plugs into virtio-mmio bus.
To create virtio-mmio bus virtio-mmio-bridge device provided.
This seems to me to have one more layer than it needs. Why not just:
create virtio-blk, virtio-net, etc on the virtio-transport bus
To create virtio-transport bus, we create a virtio-mmio-transport
device, and this device is a sysbus device.
ie why do you have separate "virtio-mmio-transport" and
"virtio-mmio-bridge" devices, and two different new buses ("virtio-mmio"
and "virtio-transport") rather than just "virtio-transport"?
I think using a bus won't work. You need to create a VirtioDevice
that has a link<VirtioTransport>. I would suggest making
VirtioTransport an interface.
Do you mean latest QOM series that qomyfies buses or some issue in pci
(which I don't see)?
I was planning to refactor virtio-pci, make sure it works and then
hoping that last QOM series lands in master
convert all the stuff to correspond it.
Then you can have VirtioPCI inherit from PCIDevice and implement
VirtioTransport.
