Timos Ampelikiotis 42fa1204ec vhost-device-can: Add initial implementation
This implementation supports the exchange of CAN/CANFD messages
virtual ("vcan") and real HW CAN device ("can0"). It was tested with:
a) virtio-can driver found in the following patch serie:
    - https://lwn.net/Articles/934187/

b) QEMU's vhost-user-can device:
    1) Option 1: Upstream QEMU's vhost-user-device

        qemu-system-x86_64  \
                -m 4096 \
                -numa node,memdev=mem \
                -object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=4G,mem-path=/dev/shm,share=on \
                -chardev socket,id=char1,path=/tmp/can.sock \
                -device vhost-user-device-pci,chardev=char1,virtio-id=36,num_vqs=3,config_size=16 \
                ...

    2) Option 2: A new QEMU vhost-user-can device can be found in the
       following repo:
        - https://github.com/virtualopensystems/qemu/tree/vhu-can-rfc

For more information, please check the README.md file under
"staging/vhost-device-can/".

vhost-device staging workspace

This directory includes a separate Cargo workspace to include working vhost-user backend implementations that concern devices that have partial functionality and devices (and/or functionality) not yet ratified in the VIRTIO specification. For more details about vhost-device you can refer to the repository README.

To add a new member crate:

  1. Place it under this directory, ./staging.
  2. Append its name in the workspace.members array field of the workspace manifest file.
  3. Update the crate list in the repository README.

Testing and Continuous Integration

Notice : The CI runs on the root workspace only. This means that staging crates can have failing tests and bring down code coverage without automatic checks. Tests can still be run locally as part of the development process. To add a crate to the CI, add it to the root Cargo.toml workspace.members array as well as the staging manifest.
