Hi folks:
Per the discussion with Ira/Jonathan in the LPC 2024 and in the CXL
discord channel, we are trying to introduce a CXL type-2 device emulation
in QEMU, as there are work currently on supporting CXL type-2 device [1]
in Linux kernel and CXL type-2 device virtualization [2].
It provides a bare minimum base for folks who would like to:
- Contribute and test the CXL type-2 device support in the linux kernel
and CXL type-2 virtualization without having an actual HW.
- Introduce more emulated features to prototype the kernel CXL type-2
device features and CXL type-2 virtualization.
To test this patchset, please refer to steps in [3]. Use this patcheset
with the latest QEMU repo to be the QEMU host. It achieves the same output
as in the demo video [4]: The VFIO CXL core and VFIO CXL sample variant
driver can be attached to the emulated device in the L1 guest and assigned
to the L2 guest. The sample driver in the L2 guest can attach to the
pass-thrued device and create the CXL region.
Tested on the CXL type-2 virtualization RFC patches [3] with an extra
fix [5].
