Tsirkin @ 2010-09-21 16:11 UTC (permalink / raw) To: David Stevens, sri, Anthony Liguori, Rusty Russell, Krishna Kumar2, Sh Cc: kvm, qemu-devel, netdev I've put up a wiki page with a kvm networking todo list, mainly to avoid effort duplication, but also in the hope to draw attention to what I think we should try addressing in KVM: http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/NetworkingTodo This page could cover all networking related activity in KVM, currently most info is related to virtio-net. Note: if there's no developer listed for an item, this just means I don't know of anyone actively working on an issue at the moment, not that no one intends to. I would appreciate it if others working on one of the items on this list would add their names so we can communicate better. If others like this wiki page, please go ahead and add stuff you are working on if any. It would be especially nice to add autotest projects: there is just a short test matrix and a catch-all 'Cover test matrix with autotest', currently. Currently there are some links to Red Hat bugzilla entries, feel free to add links to other bugzillas. Thanks! -- MST ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Thanks for capturing these items. It is really useful. Another item that is missing is - support assigning SR-IOV VF to a guest via tap/macvtap Currently, this requires - VF to be put in promiscuous mode when using a bridge/tap - add a new mac address to VF when using macvtap. I don't think any of the VF drivers provide these capabilities at this time. -Sridhar [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/html, Size: 2199 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

E.g. if mac can not be changed we could at least query the mac, something that would be convenient as noted by mjt in an irc chat. To enable migration we'd then need a set of flags to limit this to a least common denominator on a given network. -- MST ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
