2config VIRTIO
3	tristate
4	help
5	  This option is selected by any driver which implements the virtio
6	  bus, such as CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI, CONFIG_VIRTIO_MMIO, CONFIG_RPMSG
7	  or CONFIG_S390_GUEST.

15config VIRTIO_PCI
16	tristate "PCI driver for virtio devices"
17	depends on PCI
18	select VIRTIO
19	help
20	  This driver provides support for virtio based paravirtual device
21	  drivers over PCI.  This requires that your VMM has appropriate PCI
22	  virtio backends.  Most QEMU based VMMs should support these devices
23	  (like KVM or Xen).
24
25	  If unsure, say M.
26
27config VIRTIO_PCI_LEGACY
28	bool "Support for legacy virtio draft 0.9.X and older devices"
29	default y
30	depends on VIRTIO_PCI
31	help
32          Virtio PCI Card 0.9.X Draft (circa 2014) and older device support.
33
34	  This option enables building a transitional driver, supporting
35	  both devices conforming to Virtio 1 specification, and legacy devices.
36	  If disabled, you get a slightly smaller, non-transitional driver,
37	  with no legacy compatibility.
38
39          So look out into your driveway.  Do you have a flying car?  If
40          so, you can happily disable this option and virtio will not
41          break.  Otherwise, leave it set.  Unless you're testing what
42          life will be like in The Future.
43
44	  If unsure, say Y.
45
46config VIRTIO_VDPA
47	tristate "vDPA driver for virtio devices"
48	depends on VDPA
49	select VIRTIO
50	help
51	  This driver provides support for virtio based paravirtual
52	  device driver over vDPA bus. For this to be useful, you need
53	  an appropriate vDPA device implementation that operates on a
54	  physical device to allow the datapath of virtio to be
55	  offloaded to hardware.
56
57	  If unsure, say M.
58
59config VIRTIO_PMEM
60	tristate "Support for virtio pmem driver"
61	depends on VIRTIO
62	depends on LIBNVDIMM
63	help
64	  This driver provides access to virtio-pmem devices, storage devices
65	  that are mapped into the physical address space - similar to NVDIMMs
66	   - with a virtio-based flushing interface.
67
68	  If unsure, say Y.
69
70config VIRTIO_BALLOON
71	tristate "Virtio balloon driver"
72	depends on VIRTIO

74	select PAGE_REPORTING

76	 This driver supports increasing and decreasing the amount
77	 of memory within a KVM guest.
78
79	 If unsure, say M.

87	depends on MEMORY_HOTREMOVE
88	select CONTIG_ALLOC
89	help
90	 This driver provides access to virtio-mem paravirtualized memory
91	 devices, allowing to hotplug and hotunplug memory.
92
93	 This driver was only tested under x86-64, but should theoretically
94	 work on all architectures that support memory hotplug and hotremove.
95
96	 If unsure, say M.
97
98config VIRTIO_INPUT
99	tristate "Virtio input driver"
100	depends on VIRTIO
101	depends on INPUT
102	help
103	 This driver supports virtio input devices such as
104	 keyboards, mice and tablets.
105
106	 If unsure, say M.
107
108config VIRTIO_MMIO
109	tristate "Platform bus driver for memory mapped virtio devices"
110	depends on HAS_IOMEM && HAS_DMA

113	 This drivers provides support for memory mapped virtio
114	 platform device driver.

117
118config VIRTIO_MMIO_CMDLINE_DEVICES
119	bool "Memory mapped virtio devices parameter parsing"
120	depends on VIRTIO_MMIO
121	help
122	 Allow virtio-mmio devices instantiation via the kernel command line
123	 or module parameters. Be aware that using incorrect parameters (base
124	 address in particular) can crash your system - you have been warned.
125	 See Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst for details.
126
127	 If unsure, say 'N'.
