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_PMEM
47	tristate "Support for virtio pmem driver"
48	depends on VIRTIO
49	depends on LIBNVDIMM
50	help
51	  This driver provides access to virtio-pmem devices, storage devices
52	  that are mapped into the physical address space - similar to NVDIMMs
53	   - with a virtio-based flushing interface.
54
55	  If unsure, say Y.
56
57config VIRTIO_BALLOON
58	tristate "Virtio balloon driver"
59	depends on VIRTIO
60	select MEMORY_BALLOON
61	---help---
62	 This driver supports increasing and decreasing the amount
63	 of memory within a KVM guest.
64
65	 If unsure, say M.
66
67config VIRTIO_INPUT
68	tristate "Virtio input driver"
69	depends on VIRTIO
70	depends on INPUT
71	---help---
72	 This driver supports virtio input devices such as
73	 keyboards, mice and tablets.
74
75	 If unsure, say M.
76
77config VIRTIO_MMIO
78	tristate "Platform bus driver for memory mapped virtio devices"

83	 platform device driver.

87config VIRTIO_MMIO_CMDLINE_DEVICES
88	bool "Memory mapped virtio devices parameter parsing"
89	depends on VIRTIO_MMIO
90	---help---
91	 Allow virtio-mmio devices instantiation via the kernel command line
92	 or module parameters. Be aware that using incorrect parameters (base
93	 address in particular) can crash your system - you have been warned.
94	 See Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst for details.
95
96	 If unsure, say 'N'.
