Hi, I'am just wondering why there's no support for vhost-net (qemu) in an ethernet domain (<interface type='ethernet'>) ? below code from qemu_command.c: if (actualType == VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_NETWORK || actualType == VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_BRIDGE || actualType == VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_DIRECT) { /* Attempt to use vhost-net mode for these types of network device */ -- Tomasz Paszkowski SS7, Asterisk,...

With Libvirt under modern kernels, you can't use <interface type='ethernet'> unless QEMU is running as root. Running qemu as root is not ideal, but I was able to track down the issue to this linux change: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=ca6bb5d7ab22ac79f608fe6cbc6b12de6a5a19f0 Which means that if you're seeing errors like this:
