Subject: qemu-kvm: plan for MSI-X
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2009 13:53:41 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090630105341.GC30065@redhat.com> (raw)
So, now MSI-X is in upstream qemu. The issue here is that irqchip in
kernel is still unsupported. So here's the plan for qemu-kvm:
1. on next merge from qemu.git to qemu.kvm, virtio net will be broken
2. a quick work-around is to replace this line in hw/apic.c:
msix_supported = 1;
with
if (!kvm_enabled() || !qemu_kvm_irqchip_in_kernel())
msix_supported = 1;
3. once that is merged, I'll add a patch for kernel msi-x that is
qemu-kvm specific.
4. Overall it is unfortunate that we still need to add qemu-kvm specific
hacks in new code. Is someone working on upstreaming irqchip btw?
Comments? Avi?
