Note that the system header file also has "vring_used_event()" defined. Besides that, I have few more comments (and some requirements): - It'd be much better if there is a Tested-by tag. Expeclitly, I'm asking a test with Linux kernel virtio-net driver in guest. - I also hope you could have done a build test on some old distributions. AFAIK, the two macros (vring_need_event and vring_used_event) come from kernel 3.0 (or above). Any kernel older than that would fail the build. - I'd be great if you could make a new one based on top of my latest tree: I have just applied a patchset that should conflict with this one. --yliu
