Associated Github Task: https://github.com/oasis-tcs/virtio-spec/issues/122 v1 -> v2: * "active/pending message(s)" -> "vring slot(s)" NOTE: I decided to use the term "vring slot(s)" over the previously suggested term "buffer(s)" as I found tha latter too ambiguous in this context. [patch 1] * "... but does not oppose a limit to the actual bulk data size being transmitted." -> " ... but does not oppose a limit to the actual bulk data size being transmitted when indirect descriptors are used." [patch 1] * Add common configuration field "queue_indirect_size" and make it mandatory as of revision 3. [NEW patch 2] Christian Schoenebeck (2): Add VIRTIO_RING_F_LARGE_INDIRECT_DESC Add common configuration field "queue_indirect_size" content.tex | 56 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ split-ring.tex | 7 ++++++- 2 files changed, 62 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) -- 2.20.1
