vhost-user-backend

Design

This crate provides convenient abstractions for implementing vhost-user device server backends:

  • A vhost-user backend trait (VhostUserBackend)
  • A public API for the backend to interact with (VhostUserDaemon)
  • An structure including virtio queue related elements (Vring)
  • A worker for receiving queue events and forwarding them to the backend.

Usage

Users of this create are expected to implement the VhostUserBackend trait and to initialize the execution context by instantiating VhostUserDaemon and calling to its start method.
