Hey, I will give a presentation about rust-vmm at Fosdem 2019 (on Saturday) and I will have a slide with people that already contributed to rust-vmm. By contributing I mean: discussions, reviews, pull requests, ideas, others? As it is a bit too much to include individual people, I was thinking about including group of peoples. So far I have (in alphabetical order): Alibaba Cloud Chromium OS Firecracker Kata Containers Qemu Red Hat If I am missing some group, can you please send me an email and I will update the slide?

Firecracker & Crosvm common crates
by Florescu, Andreea 25 Jan '19

25 Jan '19

Hey everyone, I've created a gist [1] so we can start a discussion about what would be worth contributing back to Crosvm. The document is far from being completed, but I think it is a good idea to get feedback as early as possible. That gist can also be a starting point for talking about crates that can be shared between the teams (and potentially other rust VMMs). Let me know what you think.

Crate for vhost-user device backend?
by Stefan Hajnoczi 21 Jan '19

21 Jan '19

Hi, Has anyone implemented a vhost-user device backend in Rust? QEMU's libvhost-user and DPDK's librte_vhost are C implementations that provide a device backend API. They allow you to implement vhost-user-net, vhost-user-blk, and vhost-user-scsi devices as a separate process from the main emulator. Stefan

Summer of Code / Outreachy projects
by Paolo Bonzini 19 Jan '19

19 Jan '19

QEMU would be glad to host projects related to VMMs in Rust as part of Google summer of Code and Outreachy. This includes all of Firecracker, CrosVM and common infrastructure that could be reused by multiple virtual machine monitors; with my QEMU hat, I would obviously favor the latter :)). An idea could be to migrate Firecracker and CrosVM to the Fuchsia crates that were mentioned early here on the mailing list, and/or implement a sample vhost-user client using whatever standard set of crates are established. Another possibility is PCI and virtio-pci in Firecracker. Thanks, Paolo

Rust VMM Crates
by Florescu, Andreea 16 Jan '19

16 Jan '19

Hey everyone, I was thinking it would be nice to add one more crates to rust-vmm before my Fosdem presentation [1]. Another easy pick would be the virtio bindings, what do you say? As the community is slowly growing, I think it would also be a good idea to have a process for creating repositories so we can get feedback before publishing them on crates.io. The proposal would be to first create a repository on a personal GitHub profile and open a new issue in the community repository [2] asking for review for the crate. Would that be okay? I can do that for the virtio-bindings crate. Also, while thinking what crate should we add next, I realized that kvm_wrapper [3] was not the most inspired name of them all (enforcing that we should have some kind of review before publishing them). I also noticed that there are a lot of crates on crates.io that over FFI bindings and are named with the "-bindings" suffix. Because you cannot rename crates on crates.io, I was thinking about creating a new crate with the same content, name it kvm-bindings and mark the kvm_wrapper as an obsolete crate. We can keep the kvm_wrapper repository around and at some point re-purpose it to be a wrapper over KVM ioctls (similar to the kvm crate from crosvm/firecracker, but a bit more generic maybe?). Feedback would be greatly appreciated!

GitHub organization
by Samuel Ortiz 14 Jan '19

14 Jan '19

All, Jonathan and I created a rust-vmm GitHub organization for hosting the potential crates and project related to this project: https://github.com/rust-vmm/ The initial goal for this org is to be a collaboration ground for new crates. We should collectively decide how it gets organized in terms of teams, repos and rights. At the moment Jonathan and myself are the 2 admins, but that can be changed at any time. Please let me know if you'd like to be added as a member of this new org. Cheers, Samuel. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Intel Corporation SAS (French simplified joint stock company) Registered headquarters: "Les Montalets"- 2, rue de Paris, 92196 Meudon Cedex, France Registration Number: 302 456 199 R.C.S.

rust-vmm at Fosdem 2019
by Florescu, Andreea 11 Jan '19

11 Jan '19

Hey, I did a late submission to talk about rust-vmm at Fosdem conference 2019 [1] and by a series of very fortunate events the talk was accepted. This is probably a good time to ask if anyone would like to chat about what the next steps look like for rust-vmm crates over a call. I'd like to have more clarity on our direction by the time I am on stage. I think it is a great opportunity to get more people onboard. I'm keen on on getting input/feedback with regards to the slides I'll be putting together. Also, is anyone from this list going to Fosdem? It would be awesome if you could attend the talk! Maybe we can also plan a meet-up and discuss about future plans and ideas.
