Required Methods

fn post_message( &self, vtl: Vtl, vp: VpIndex, sint: u8, typ: u32, payload: &[u8], )

Posts a message to the guest.

fn new_guest_event_port(&self) -> Box<dyn GuestEventPort>

Creates a GuestEventPort for signaling VMBus channels in the guest.

fn prefer_os_events(&self) -> bool

Returns whether callers should pass an OS event when creating event ports, as opposed to passing a function to call.

This is true when the hypervisor can more quickly dispatch an OS event and resume the VP than it can take an intercept into user mode and call a function.

Provided Methods

fn new_host_event_port( &self, connection_id: u32, minimum_vtl: Vtl, event: &Event, ) -> Result<Option<Box<dyn Sync + Send>>, Error>

Adds a fast path to signal event when the guest signals connection_id from VTL >= minimum_vtl.

Returns Ok(None) if this acceleration is not supported.

fn monitor_support(&self) -> Option<&dyn SynicMonitor>

Returns an object for manipulating the monitor page, or None if monitor pages aren’t supported.
