# vhost-device

|
## Design
|
|
|
|
This repository hosts various 'vhost-user' device backends in their own crates.
|
|
See their individual README.md files for specific information about those
|
|
crates.
|
|
|
|
Here is the list of device backends that we support:

|
|
|
|
## Separation of Concerns
|
|
|
|
The binaries built by this repository can be run with any VMM which
|
|
can act as a vhost-user master. Typically they have been tested with
|
|
[QEMU](https://www.qemu.org) although the rust-vmm project does
|
|
provide a [vhost-user
|
|
master](https://github.com/rust-vmm/vhost/tree/main/src/vhost_user)
|
|
crate for rust based VMMs.
|
|
|
|
While it's possible to implement all parts of the backend inside the
|
|
vhost-device workspace consideration should be given to separating the
|
|
VirtQueue handling and response logic to a crate in [vm-virtio
|
|
devices](https://github.com/rust-vmm/vm-virtio/tree/main/crates/devices).
|
|
This way a monolithic rust-vmm VMM implementation can reuse the core
|
|
logic to service the virtio requests directly in the application.
