[libvirt] [PATCH v3 6/8] conf: Introduce new <hostdev> attribute 'display'

Erik Skultety eskultet at redhat.com
Wed Jul 11 13:58:26 UTC 2018


QEMU 2.12 introduced a new type of display for mediated devices using
vfio-pci backend which allows a mediated device to be used as a VGA
compatible device as an alternative to an emulated video device. QEMU
exposes this feature via a vfio device property 'display' with supported
values 'on/off/auto' (default is 'off').

This patch adds the necessary bits to domain config handling in order to
expose this feature. Since there's no convenient way for libvirt to come
up with usable defaults for the display setting, simply because libvirt
is not able to figure out which of the display implementations - dma-buf
which requires OpenGL support vs vfio regions which doesn't need OpenGL
(works with OpenGL enabled too) - the underlying mdev uses.
