Guidelines
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
This documents contains the guidelines for nova-core. Additionally, all common
|
|
guidelines of the Nova project do apply.
|

|
|
Driver API
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
One main purpose of nova-core is to implement the abstraction around the
|
|
firmware interface of GSP and provide a firmware (version) independent API for
|
|
2nd level drivers, such as nova-drm or the vGPU manager VFIO driver.
|
|
|
|
Therefore, it is not permitted to leak firmware (version) specifics, through the
|
|
driver API, to 2nd level drivers.
|
|
|
|
Acceptance Criteria
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
- To the extend possible, patches submitted to nova-core must be tested for
|
|
regressions with all 2nd level drivers.
