I have an application that talks to hardware via the serial port. (Actually, it talks to a lot of hardware, banking peripherals). The app runs on both Win32 and OS/2. Of course, the main theme is porting the thing natively to linux (and I'm working on that). But just for fun I tried to get it to work with WINE, and while the "device emulation" works perfectly (much to my

Hi, This patchset allows vhost_net to be used with legacy virtio when guest and host have a different endianness. It is based on previous work by C?dric Le Goater: https://www.mail-archive.com/kvm-ppc at vger.kernel.org/msg09848.html As suggested by MST: - the API now asks for a specific format (big endian) instead of the hint whether byteswap is needed or not (patch 1) - rebased on top of

commit 2751c9882b947292fcfb084c4f604e01724af804 ("vhost: cross-endian support for legacy devices") introduced a minor regression: even with cross-endian disabled, and even on LE host, vhost_is_little_endian is checking is_le flag so there's always a branch. To fix, simply check virtio_legacy_is_little_endian first. Cc: Greg Kurz <gkurz at linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by:

This series is a respin of the following patch: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/565921/ Patch 1 is preliminary work: it gives better names to the helpers that are involved in cross-endian support. Patch 2 is actually a v2 of the original patch. All devices now call a helper in the generic code, which DTRT according to vq->private_data, as suggested by Michael. --- Greg Kurz (2):

Hi, This series allows QEMU to use vhost with legacy virtio devices when host and target don't have the same endianness. Only network devices are covered for the moment. I had already posted a series some monthes ago but it never got reviewed. Moreover, the underlying kernel support was entirely re-written and is still waiting to be applied by Michael. I hence post as RFC. The corresponding

Hi, This patchset allows vhost to be used with legacy virtio when guest and host have a different endianness. It is compatible with modern virtio and can be fully compiled out through kernel config. FWIW, I could flawlessly kexec/reboot guests from ppc64 to ppc64le and back. I could also migrate from a ppc64 to a ppc64le host and back. No regressions on x86 as expected. My experimental QEMU tree
