Mesa's Venus Vulkan Driver Updated To Allow QEMU Support
Mesa's Venus Vulkan driver has made cross-device functionality optional in order to enable QEMU support for this open-source driver for virtualized environments.
Dmitry Osipenko of Collabora authored the merge request to relax the requirements around cross-device functionality so that this Venus driver can work under QEMU. Cross-device is a virtio-gpu feature that enables sharing host blob dma-bufs with other virtio devices, like virtio-wl or virtio-video. This change will be part of next quarter's Mesa 24.2 release.About The AuthorMichael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience.
