This allows to receive mouse and keyboard events from
a Barrier server.
This is enabled by adding the following parameter on the
command line
... -object input-barrier,id=$id,name=$name ...
Where $name is the name declared in the screens section of barrier.conf
The barrier server (barriers) must be configured and must run on the
local host.
For instance:
section: screens
localhost:
...
VM-1:
...
end
section: links
localhost:
right = VM-1
VM-1:
left = localhost
end
Then on the QEMU command line:
... -object input-barrier,id=barrie0,name=VM-1 ...
When the mouse will move out of the screen of the local host on
the right, the mouse and the keyboard will be grabbed and all
related events will be send to the guest OS.
This is usefull when qemu is configured without emulated graphic card
but with a VFIO attached graphic card.
More information about Barrier can be found at:
https://github.com/debauchee/barrier
This avoids to install the Barrier server in the guest OS,
for instance when it is not supported or during the installation.

QEMU Barrier Client
|
|
|
|
|
|
* About
|
|
|
|
Barrier is a KVM (Keyboard-Video-Mouse) software forked from Symless's
|
|
synergy 1.9 codebase.
|
|
|
|
See https://github.com/debauchee/barrier
|
|
|
|
* QEMU usage
|
|
|
|
Generally, mouse and keyboard are grabbed through the QEMU video
|
|
interface emulation.
|
|
|
|
But when we want to use a video graphic adapter via a PCI passthrough
|
|
there is no way to provide the keyboard and mouse inputs to the VM
|
|
except by plugging a second set of mouse and keyboard to the host
|
|
or by installing a KVM software in the guest OS.
|
|
|
|
The QEMU Barrier client avoids this by implementing directly the Barrier
|
|
protocol into QEMU.
|
|
|
|
This protocol is enabled by adding an input-barrier object to QEMU.
|
|
|
|
Syntax: input-barrier,id=<object-id>,name=<guest display name>
|
|
[,server=<barrier server address>][,port=<barrier server port>]
|
|
[,x-origin=<x-origin>][,y-origin=<y-origin>]
|
|
[,width=<width>][,height=<height>]
|
|
|
|
The object can be added on the QEMU command line, for instance with:
|
|
|
|
... -object input-barrier,id=barrier0,name=VM-1 ...
|
|
|
|
where VM-1 is the name the display configured int the Barrier server
|
|
on the host providing the mouse and the keyboard events.
|
|
|
|
by default <barrier server address> is "localhost", port is 24800,
|
|
<x-origin> and <y-origin> are set to 0, <width> and <height> to
|
|
1920 and 1080.
|
|
|
|
If Barrier server is stopped QEMU needs to be reconnected manually,
|
|
by removing and re-adding the input-barrier object, for instance
|
|
with the help of the HMP monitor:
|
|
|
|
(qemu) object_del barrier0
|
|
(qemu) object_add input-barrier,id=barrier0,name=VM-1
|
|
|
|
* Message format
|
|
|
|
Message format between the server and client is in two parts:
|
|
|
|
1- the payload length is a 32bit integer in network endianness,
|
|
2- the payload
|
|
|
|
The payload starts with a 4byte string (without NUL) which is the
|
|
command. The first command between the server and the client
|
|
is the only command not encoded on 4 bytes ("Barrier").
|
|
The remaining part of the payload is decoded according to the command.
|
|
|
|
