Here's the latest draft of virtio patches. This is on top of Rusty's recent virtqueue list + name patch, which is included in series for completeness. Changelog: changes since v5: fix build on s390 (only patch 2/4 modified) Michael S. Tsirkin (3): virtio: find_vqs/del_vqs virtio operations virtio_pci: split up vp_interrupt virtio_pci: optional MSI-X support Rusty Russell (1):

This reorganizes virtio-pci code in vp_interrupt slightly, so that it's easier to add per-vq MSI support on top. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

Here is the port of MSI-X support patches to upstream qemu. Please comment or commit. This patchset adds generic support for MSI-X, adds implementation in APIC, and uses MSI-X in virtio-net. Changelog: - since v5 make sure that load does not modify registers that guest can not change replace global msix disable flag with a per-device flag to control the number of vectors - since v4 rebased

Rusty, ok, I think I've addressed your comments so far here. In particular I have added write logging for live migration, indirect buffers and virtio net header (enables gso). I'd like this to go into linux-next, through your tree, and hopefully 2.6.33. What do you think? --- This implements vhost: a kernel-level backend for virtio, The main motivation for this work is to reduce

Add "cmask" table of constant register masks: if a bit is not writeable and is set in cmask table, this bit is checked on load. An attempt to load an image that would change such a register causes load to fail. Use this table to make sure that load does not modify registers that guest can not change (directly or indirectly). Note: we can't just assume that read-only registers never

Add an option to specify the number of MSI-X vectors for PCI NIC cards. This can also be used to disable MSI-X, for compatibility with old qemu. This option currently only affects virtio cards.

Tun device looks similar to a packet socket in that both pass complete frames from/to userspace. This patch fills in enough fields in the socket underlying tun driver to support sendmsg/recvmsg operations, and message flags MSG_TRUNC and MSG_DONTWAIT, and exports access to this socket to modules. Regular read/write behaviour is unchanged. This way, code using raw sockets to inject packets into

Extend virtio to support many interrupt vectors, and rearrange code in preparation for multi-vector support (mostly move reset out to bindings, because we will have to reset the vectors in transport-specific code). Actual bindings in pci, and use in net, to follow. Load and save are not connected to bindings yet, so they are left stubbed out for now. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst at

Add functions implementing MSI-X support. First user will be virtio-pci. Note that platform must set a flag to declare MSI supported: this is a safety measure to avoid breaking platforms which should support MSI-X but currently lack this in the interrupt controller emulation. For PC this will be set by APIC. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst at redhat.com> --- Makefile.target | 2
