Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 00/15] vhost-net: preview
Date: Thu, 4 Feb 2010 14:41:49 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100204124148.GA22559@redhat.com> (raw)

Here's a patchset with vhost support for upstream qemu.

Note that irqchip/MSI is no longer required for vhost, but you should
not expect performance gains from vhost unless in-kernel irqchip is
enabled (which is not in upstream qemu now), and unless guest enables
MSI.  A follow-up patchset against qemu-kvm will add irqchip support.

Only virtio-pci is currently supported: I'm interested in supporting
syborg/s390 as well, and tried to make APIs generic to make this
possible.

Also missing is packet socket backend: another team is working on this.
