VirtIO Related Work ===================

This is essentially a mind-map of bullet points as we work out what concrete work items should be implemented by the TCWG Virt hackers (most likely just me ;-)

Xen for Automotive ([LBI-24])

- Things that need doing - support for virtio in core (i.e. not just emulated devices) - support for virtio-iommu and sharing memory between guests (ivshmemv2?) - support virtio over ivshmemv2 (would native virtio be supported?) - support for vhost over shared memory (zero copy device emulation) - support isolating userspace emulation from hvm (vhost-user) - Why? - userspace emulation has performance benefits (exit-less, polling) - growing number of virtio devices for that guests support

Virtualizing Android ([LBI-38])

- Builds on Google's work on Cuttlefish - New Android Device model using VirtIO (including VirtGPU) \o/! - Used to run on QEMU, now targeting CrosVM - Potential interest in using as a HAL layer - Potential work items - Better support for ARM in CrosVM - Is QEMU of interest to members? (emulation & tooling - unlike CrosVM) - Is a virtualised Android HAL possible - Where does Hafnium fit it?
