Viresh Kumar bf75205478 crates: Don't warn for vhost_user::Error::Disconnected 
The vhost_user::Error::Disconnected error code is returned by the
daemon if the VM is shutting down. Don't Warn the user in this case but
just point out that VM may be shutting down.

vhost-device-i2c - I2C emulation backend daemon

Description

This program is a vhost-user backend that emulates a VirtIO I2C bus. This program takes the layout of the i2c bus and its devices on the host OS and then talks to them via the /dev/i2c-X interface when a request comes from the guest OS for an I2C or SMBUS device.

This program is tested with QEMU's -device vhost-user-i2c-pci but should work with any virtual machine monitor (VMM) that supports vhost-user. See the Examples section below.

Synopsis

vhost-device-i2c [OPTIONS]

Options

.. program:: vhost-device-i2c

.. option:: -h, --help

Print help.

.. option:: -s, --socket-path=PATH

Location of vhost-user Unix domain sockets, this path will be suffixed with 0,1,2..socket_count-1.

.. option:: -c, --socket-count=INT

Number of guests (sockets) to attach to, default set to 1.

.. option:: -l, --device-list=I2C-DEVICES

I2c device list at the host OS in the format: :<client_addr>[:<client_addr>],[:<client_addr>[:<client_addr>]]

  Example: --device-list "i915 gmbus dpd:32:21,DPDDC-D:10:23"

Here, bus-name: is adatper's name. e.g. value of /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-0/name. client_addr (decimal): address for client device, 32 == 0x20.

Examples

The daemon should be started first:

::

host# vhost-device-i2c --socket-path=vi2c.sock --socket-count=1 --device-list "i915 gmbus dpd:32"

The QEMU invocation needs to create a chardev socket the device can use to communicate as well as share the guests memory over a memfd.

::

host# qemu-system
-chardev socket,path=vi2c.sock,id=vi2c
-device vhost-user-i2c-pci,chardev=vi2c,id=i2c
-m 4096
-object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=4G,mem-path=/dev/shm,share=on
-numa node,memdev=mem
