Subject: [PATCH v2 0/6] fs: Add 9P filesystem support over virtio
Date: Sat, 29 Aug 2026 19:21:13 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260829192119.2658328-1-visitorckw@gmail.com> (raw)

Add 9P network filesystem support to U-Boot.

It allows U-Boot to directly mount host directories in virtualization
environments via virtio.

The functionality has been verified on qemu arm64 by successfully
loading a Linux kernel image and an initramfs image via 9P, and booting
to the Linux shell.

To test with QEMU:
  -fsdev local,id=fsdev0,path=/path/to/host/dir,security_model=none \
  -device virtio-9p-device,fsdev=fsdev0,mount_tag=rootfs

U-Boot usage:
  => virtio scan
  => ls 9p rootfs /
  => ls 9p 0 /
  => ls 9p - /
  => load 9p rootfs $kernel_addr_r /Image
  => load 9p rootfs $ramdisk_addr_r /initramfs.cpio
  => booti $kernel_addr_r $ramdisk_addr_r:$filesize $fdtcontroladdr

Changes in v2:
- Introduce DM UCLASS_9P and dm_p9_ops for transport devices.
- Support selecting devices by mount tag, sequence index, or default.
- Integrate 9p into disk/part.c and generic VFS null_dev_desc handling.
- Consistently use 9P2000.L naming across subjects, code, and Kconfig.
- Add kerneldoc comments and separate filesystem header.
- Add timeout handling, feature negotiation, and remove callback.
- Add 9P documentation.
- Add automated pytest and enable in qemu_arm64_defconfig.
- Fix error checking, bounds checks, and memory leaks.
