This transform is to facilitate integration with DPDK accelerated ethernet switch.

Huawei Xie (3):
  remove vhost example
  vhost library support to facilitate integration with DPDK accelerated
    vswitch
  This vhost example is based on vhost library.     Besides,          -
    This patch fixes hundreds of 80 character limitation issues.        
     - Use structure assignment rather than memcpy in get_eth_conf
    according to         Stephen's comments.

-# This script is designed to modify the call to the QEMU emulator
-# to support userspace vhost when starting a guest machine through
-# libvirt with vhost enabled. The steps to enable this are as follows
-# and should be run as root:
-#
-# 1. Place this script in a libvirtd's binary search PATH ($PATH)
-#    A good location would be in the same directory that the QEMU
-#    binary is located
-#
-# 2. Ensure that the script has the same owner/group and file
-#    permissions as the QEMU binary
-#
-# 3. Update the VM xml file using "virsh edit VM.xml"
-#
-#    3.a) Set the VM to use the launch script
-#
-#    	Set the emulator path contained in the
-#		<emulator><emulator/> tags
-#
-#    	e.g replace <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-kvm<emulator/>
-#        with    <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-wrap.py<emulator/>
-#
-#	 3.b) Set the VM's device's to use vhost-net offload
-#
-#		<interface type="network">
-#       	<model type="virtio"/>
-#       	<driver name="vhost"/>
-#		<interface/>
-#
-# 4. Enable libvirt to access our userpace device file by adding it to
-#    controllers cgroup for libvirtd using the following steps
-#
-#   4.a) In /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf add/edit the following lines:
-#         1) cgroup_controllers = [ ... "devices", ... ]
-#		  2) clear_emulator_capabilities = 0
-#         3) user = "root"
-#         4) group = "root"
-#         5) cgroup_device_acl = [
-#                "/dev/null", "/dev/full", "/dev/zero",
-#                "/dev/random", "/dev/urandom",
-#                "/dev/ptmx", "/dev/kvm", "/dev/kqemu",
-#                "/dev/rtc", "/dev/hpet", "/dev/net/tun",
-#                "/dev/<devbase-name>-<index>",
-#            ]
-#
-#   4.b) Disable SELinux or set to permissive mode
-#
-#   4.c) Mount cgroup device controller
-#        "mkdir /dev/cgroup"
-#        "mount -t cgroup none /dev/cgroup -o devices"
-#
-#   4.d) Set hugetlbfs_mount variable - ( Optional )
-#        VMs using userspace vhost must use hugepage backed
-#        memory. This can be enabled in the libvirt XML
-#        config by adding a memory backing section to the
-#        XML config e.g.
-#             <memoryBacking>
-#             <hugepages/>
-#             </memoryBacking>
-#        This memory backing section should be added after the
-#        <memory> and <currentMemory> sections. This will add
-#        flags "-mem-prealloc -mem-path <path>" to the QEMU
-#        command line. The hugetlbfs_mount variable can be used
-#        to override the default <path> passed through by libvirt.
-#
-#        if "-mem-prealloc" or "-mem-path <path>" are not passed
-#        through and a vhost device is detected then these options will
-#        be automatically added by this script. This script will detect
-#        the system hugetlbfs mount point to be used for <path>. The
-#        default <path> for this script can be overidden by the
-#        hugetlbfs_dir variable in the configuration section of this script.
-#
-#
-#   4.e) Restart the libvirtd system process
-#        e.g. on Fedora "systemctl restart libvirtd.service"
-#
-#
-#   4.f) Edit the Configuration Parameters section of this script
-#        to point to the correct emulator location and set any
-#        addition options
-#
-# The script modifies the libvirtd Qemu call by modifying/adding
-# options based on the configuration parameters below.
-# NOTE:
-#     emul_path and us_vhost_path must be set
-#     All other parameters are optional

This library is turned off by default so that it doesn't break build on default system.
Install fuse development library and turn it on.

+# This script is designed to modify the call to the QEMU emulator
+# to support userspace vhost when starting a guest machine through
+# libvirt with vhost enabled. The steps to enable this are as follows
+# and should be run as root:
+#
+# 1. Place this script in a libvirtd's binary search PATH ($PATH)
+#    A good location would be in the same directory that the QEMU
+#    binary is located
+#
+# 2. Ensure that the script has the same owner/group and file
+#    permissions as the QEMU binary
+#
+# 3. Update the VM xml file using "virsh edit VM.xml"
+#
+#    3.a) Set the VM to use the launch script
+#
+#    	Set the emulator path contained in the
+#		<emulator><emulator/> tags
+#
+#    	e.g replace <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-kvm<emulator/>
+#        with    <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-wrap.py<emulator/>
+#
+#	 3.b) Set the VM's device's to use vhost-net offload
+#
+#		<interface type="network">
+#       	<model type="virtio"/>
+#       	<driver name="vhost"/>
+#		<interface/>
+#
+# 4. Enable libvirt to access our userpace device file by adding it to
+#    controllers cgroup for libvirtd using the following steps
+#
+#   4.a) In /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf add/edit the following lines:
+#         1) cgroup_controllers = [ ... "devices", ... ]
+#		  2) clear_emulator_capabilities = 0
+#         3) user = "root"
+#         4) group = "root"
+#         5) cgroup_device_acl = [
+#                "/dev/null", "/dev/full", "/dev/zero",
+#                "/dev/random", "/dev/urandom",
+#                "/dev/ptmx", "/dev/kvm", "/dev/kqemu",
+#                "/dev/rtc", "/dev/hpet", "/dev/net/tun",
+#                "/dev/<devbase-name>-<index>",
+#            ]
+#
+#   4.b) Disable SELinux or set to permissive mode
+#
+#   4.c) Mount cgroup device controller
+#        "mkdir /dev/cgroup"
+#        "mount -t cgroup none /dev/cgroup -o devices"
+#
+#   4.d) Set hugetlbfs_mount variable - ( Optional )
+#        VMs using userspace vhost must use hugepage backed
+#        memory. This can be enabled in the libvirt XML
+#        config by adding a memory backing section to the
+#        XML config e.g.
+#             <memoryBacking>
+#             <hugepages/>
+#             </memoryBacking>
+#        This memory backing section should be added after the
+#        <memory> and <currentMemory> sections. This will add
+#        flags "-mem-prealloc -mem-path <path>" to the QEMU
+#        command line. The hugetlbfs_mount variable can be used
+#        to override the default <path> passed through by libvirt.
+#
+#        if "-mem-prealloc" or "-mem-path <path>" are not passed
+#        through and a vhost device is detected then these options will
+#        be automatically added by this script. This script will detect
+#        the system hugetlbfs mount point to be used for <path>. The
+#        default <path> for this script can be overidden by the
+#        hugetlbfs_dir variable in the configuration section of this script.
+#
+#
+#   4.e) Restart the libvirtd system process
+#        e.g. on Fedora "systemctl restart libvirtd.service"
+#
+#
+#   4.f) Edit the Configuration Parameters section of this script
+#        to point to the correct emulator location and set any
+#        addition options
+#
+# The script modifies the libvirtd Qemu call by modifying/adding
+# options based on the configuration parameters below.
+# NOTE:
+#     emul_path and us_vhost_path must be set
+#     All other parameters are optional

My previous comment was:
"
It would help if you made a first patch to move existing code,
another patch to convert it into a lib, and a last one for
the new example.
So it would show how you transform the old example code and
would be easier to review.
"

I mean your first patch would be some simple code moving without any
change. Git handles move and shows it clearly, so it's really easy to
review.
Then your second patch would include the changes you made to make it
a library. In this patchset we cannot see them because all is seen as
new code.

Thanks

Hi Huawei,

I added few comments. Mainly those comments are about source code indent.

Above comments of 'vhost_virtqueue', 'struct virtio_memory_regions',
'struct virtio-memory'
and 'struct virtio-net' will break API documentation created by Doxygen.
Not to break, I guess those comment need to be placed after variable.

Thanks Tetsuya:
	Some of them are due to 80 character limitation. Is it ok to break the limitation for better indentation?

Many of these comments could just be removed or shortened.
Often removing comments makes code clearer and less buggy, because
there is no risk that comment does not match code.

It's is up to the cording style of dpdk. But, there may be no strict
