Subject: [PATCH RFC 0/8] virtio: add guest MSI-X support
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2009 15:31:36 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090427123136.GA1152@redhat.com> (raw)

Add optional MSI-X support: use a vector per virtqueue with
fallback to a common vector and finally to regular interrupt.
Teach all drivers to use it.

I added 2 new virtio operations: request_vqs/free_vqs because MSI
needs to know the total number of vectors upfront.

Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>

Here's a draft set of patches for MSI-X support in the guest.  It still
needs to be tested properly, and performance impact measured, but I
thought I'd share it here in the hope of getting some very early
feedback/flames.

Michael S. Tsirkin (8):
  virtio: add request_vqs/free_vqs virtio operations
  virtio_blk: add request_vqs/free_vqs calls
  virtio-rng: add request_vqs/free_vqs calls
  virtio_console: add request_vqs/free_vqs calls
  virtio_net: add request_vqs/free_vqs calls
  virtio_balloon: add request_vqs/free_vqs calls
  virtio_pci: split up vp_interrupt
  virtio_pci: optional MSI-X support
