[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 0/2] ivshmem: update documentation, add client/server tools

[David Marchand <david.marchand@6wind.com>]

Here is a patchset containing an update on ivshmem specs documentation and
importing ivshmem server and client tools.
These tools have been written from scratch and are not related to what is
available in nahanni repository.
I put them in contrib/ directory as the qemu-doc.texi was already telling the
server was supposed to be there.

Changes since v2:
- fixed license issues in ivshmem client/server (I took hw/virtio/virtio-rng.c
  file as a reference).

Changes since v1:
- moved client/server import patch before doc update,
- tried to re-organise the ivshmem_device_spec.txt file based on Claudio
  comments (still not sure if the result is that great, comments welcome),
- incorporated comments from Claudio, Eric and Cam,
- added more details on the server <-> client messages exchange (but sorry, no
  ASCII art here).

By the way, there are still some functionnalities that need description (use of
ioeventfd, the lack of irqfd support) and some parts of the ivshmem code clearly
need cleanup. I will try to address this in future patches when these first
patches are ok.
