Here's a patchset to update tools/virtio with changes in 3.8, as well as the proposed API extension. Useful to see whether the extra level of indirection adds measureable overhead. I will upstream at least patch 1 soon. Michael S. Tsirkin (2): tools/virtio: fix build for 3.8 tools/virtio: update for the new virtio API drivers/vhost/test.c | 4 +++- tools/virtio/Makefile

This introduces vringh, which are generic accessors for virtio rings (host side). There's a host-side implementation in vhost, but it assumes that the rings are in userspace, and is tied to the vhost implementation. I have patches to adapt it to use vringh, but I'm pushing this in the next merge window for Sjur, who has CAIF patches which need it. This also includes a test program in

Getting use of virtio rings correct is tricky, and a recent patch saw an implementation of in-kernel rings (as separate from userspace). This patch attempts to abstract the business of dealing with the virtio ring layout from the access (userspace or direct); to do this, we use function pointers, which gcc inlines correctly.
