+config VHOST_RPMSG
- tristate
- depends on VHOST
depends on RPMSG_VIRTIO?
No, RPMSG_VIRTIO is used on the guest side, VHOST_RPMSG (as well as all other vhost drivers) on the host side.
I vaguely recalled something about sockets, and was wondering if there isn't a dependency on this:
config VHOST_VSOCK tristate "vhost virtio-vsock driver" depends on VSOCKETS && EVENTFD && VHOST_DPN select VHOST
You probably are thinking about the first patch in the series "vhost: convert VHOST_VSOCK_SET_RUNNING to a generic ioctl." But no, this RPMsg driver doesn't depend on vsock, on the contrary, it takes a (albeit tiny) piece of functionality from vsock and makes it global.
yes, this is what I was thinking about, thanks for clarifying.
