Although QEMU already has a native memory region abstraction (MemoryRegion), it supports overlapping regions. Since the vm-memory crate does not support overlapping memory, MemoryRegionSection is a more appropriate choice to implement the vm_memory::GuestMemoryRegion trait. To achieve this, implement vm_memory::GuestMemoryRegion for MemoryRegionSection, along with its required supertrait, GuestMemoryRegionBytes. Additionally, implement Bytes<(MemoryRegionAddress, MemTxAttrs)> to properly attach QEMU's memory transaction attributes to memory operations. Furthermore, provide low-level memory write/read/store/load bindings based on MemoryRegionSection, and add the necessary helpers (fuzz_dma_read() and is_access_allowed()). Signed-off-by: Zhao Liu <[email protected]> --- Changes since v1: * Implement GuestMemoryRegionBytes for MemoryRegionSection to satisfy supertrait requirement. * Implement Bytes<(MemoryRegionAddress, MemTxAttrs)> to attach MemTxAttrs. * For write/read, add an extra loop to ensure write/read are actually finished within the same region. --- rust/system/src/memory.rs | 449 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 447 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/rust/system/src/memory.rs b/rust/system/src/memory.rs index 4c258201bad7..34c7b7ce04a1 100644 --- a/rust/system/src/memory.rs +++ b/rust/system/src/memory.rs @@ -2,19 +2,38 @@ // Author(s): Paolo Bonzini <[email protected]> // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-or-later -//!
