...was never posted to LKML because I never finished it. Feel free to take the code and use it to start your own project. Note that vhost-net exists now, and is an in-kernel backend for virtio-net. It *may* be possible to use this, rather than writing a userspace backend as I started to do. http://www.mmarray.org/~iws/virtio-phys/ I also got started with the alacrityvm project, developing a driver for their virtualization framework. That project is nowhere near finished. The virtualization folks basically told GHaskins (alacrityvm author) that alacrityvm wouldn't ever make it to mainline Linux. htt...

What it is: vhost net is a character device that can be used to reduce the number of system calls involved in virtio networking. Existing virtio net code is used in the guest without modification. There's similarity with vringfd, with some differences and reduced scope - uses eventfd for signalling - structures can be moved around in memory at any time (good for migration) - support memory
