| |
| 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. |
