[Qemu-devel] virtio-1 related entry in 2.4 Changelog, please

[Peter Maydell]

Our changelog for QEMU 2.4 (http://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/2.4)
currently has a line in it saying
   " * FIXME: virtio 1"

Could somebody familiar with the level of our virtio-1 support
in 2.4 please fix this, before everybody forgets exactly what
2.4 did and didn't support?

thanks

I seem to have lost the wiki login/password.

	For virtio-pci, Virtio 1 mode can now be enabled by specifying
	disable-modern=false. To suppress the legacy interface and
	create a non-transitional device, specify disable-legacy=true
	additionally. All devices support this mode.

	This support is still experimental: it functions fine in normal
	usage and so should be appropriate for guest driver development, but there
	are known issues around migration, guest out of memory handling, and
	performance.

	When used with virtio 1, virtio blk no longer supports scsi
	command passthrough. Please use virtio scsi instead.

Looking at the userlist I suspect you didn't have an account.
Let me know what username you'd like and I'll create one for you.
