Subject: [PATCHv2 0/3] virtio: add guest MSI-X support
Date: Thu, 7 May 2009 17:08:38 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090507140838.GA1516@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.

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.

Changelog since v1:
- Per Avi's suggestion, let guest configure virtqueue to vector mapping
- Per Rusty's suggestion, replace API with find_vqs/del_vqs.

Michael S. Tsirkin (3):
  virtio: find_vqs/del_vqs virtio operations
  virtio_pci: split up vp_interrupt
  virtio_pci: optional MSI-X support
