Changelog

[v0.12.2]

Fixed

  • [#251]: Inserted checks that verify that the value returned by VolatileMemory::get_slice is of the correct length.

Deprecated

  • [#244] Deprecate volatile memory's as_ptr() interfaces. The new interfaces to be used instead are: ptr_guard() and ptr_guard_mut().

[v0.12.1]

Fixed

  • [#241] mmap_xen: Don't drop the FileOffset while in use #245

[v0.12.0]

Added

  • [#241] Add Xen memory mapping support: Foreign and Grant. Add new API for accessing pointers to volatile slices, as as_ptr() can‘t be used with Xen’s Grant mapping.
  • [#237] Implement ByteValued for i/u128.

[v0.11.0]

Added

  • [#216] Add GuestRegionMmap::from_region.

Fixed

  • [#217] Fix vm-memory internally taking rust-style slices to guest memory in ways that could potentially cause undefined behavior. Removes/deprecates various as_slice/as_slice_mut methods whose usage violated rust's aliasing rules, as well as an unsound impl<'a> VolatileMemory for &'a mut [u8].

[v0.10.0]

Changed

  • [#208] Updated vmm-sys-util dependency to v0.11.0
  • [#203] Switched to Rust edition 2021.

[v0.9.0]

Fixed

  • [#195]: mmap::check_file_offset is doing the correct size validation for block and char devices as well.

Changed

  • [#198]: atomic: enable 64 bit atomics on ppc64le and s390x.
  • [#200]: docs: enable all features in docs.rs.
  • [#199]: Update the way the dependencies are pulled such that we don't end up with incompatible versions.

[v0.8.0]

Fixed

  • [#190]: VolatileSlice::read/write when input slice is empty.

[v0.7.0]

Changed

  • [#176]: Relax the trait bounds of Bytes auto impl for T: GuestMemory
  • [#178]: MmapRegion::build_raw no longer requires that the length of the region is a multiple of the page size.

[v0.6.0]

Added

  • [#160]: Add ArcRef and AtomicBitmapArc bitmap backend implementations.
  • [#149]: Implement builder for MmapRegion.
  • [#140]: Add dirty bitmap tracking abstractions.

Deprecated

  • [#133]: Deprecate GuestMemory::with_regions(), GuestMemory::with_regions_mut(), GuestMemory::map_and_fold().

[v0.5.0]

Added

  • [#8]: Add GuestMemory method to return an Iterator
  • [#120]: Add is_hugetlbfs() to GuestMemoryRegion
  • [#126]: Add VolatileSlice::split_at()
  • [#128]: Add VolatileSlice::subslice()

[v0.4.0]

Fixed

  • [#100]: Performance degradation after fixing #95.
  • [#122]: atomic, Cargo.toml: Update for arc-swap 1.0.0.

[v0.3.0]

Added

  • [#109]: Added build_raw to MmapRegion which can be used to operate on externally created mappings.
  • [#101]: Added check_range for GuestMemory which could be used to validate a range of guest memory.
  • [#115]: Add methods for atomic access to Bytes.

Fixed

  • [#93]: DoS issue when using virtio with rust-vmm/vm-memory.
  • [#106]: Asserts trigger on zero-length access.

Removed

  • integer-atomics is no longer a distinct feature of the crate.

[v0.2.0]

Added

  • [#76]: Added get_slice and as_volatile_slice to GuestMemoryRegion.
  • [#82]: Added Clone bound for GuestAddressSpace::T, the return value of GuestAddressSpace::memory().
  • [#88]: Added as_bytes for ByteValued which can be used for reading into POD structures from raw bytes.

[v0.1.0]

Added

  • Added traits for working with VM memory.
  • Added a mmap based implemention for the Guest Memory.
