Subject: [Qemu-devel] Dataplane and vhost-blk
Date: Tue, 5 Mar 2013 15:18:46 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130305141845.GA3411@irqsave.net> (raw)
Hello,
I am looking for a way to help improving qemu block performance.
APIC-V is a work in progress and the two options with public code are vhost-*
and virtio-blk-dataplane.
The way of doing seems very similar (bypassing the qemu lock) and dedicating
a thread to each emulated virtio block device.
vhost-* is in kernel while dataplane is in qemu.
Performance seems similar.
Dataplane seems to be a demonstrator to be replaced by an evolution of the
qemu block layer made thread friendly and vhost-blk is not upstream yet.
This left me with the following questions :
Are dataplane and vhost-block purpose the same (speed) despite being pushed
by the same company (Red Hat) ?
What is the best path I can take to help improve qemu block performance ?
Best regards
Benoît
