[RFC PATCH 0/2] virtio nvme
..., basically modified from virtio-blk and nvme code. As title said, request for your comments. Play it in Qemu with: -drive file=disk.img,format=raw,if=none,id=D22 \ -device virtio-nvme-pci,drive=D22,serial=1234,num_queues=4 The goal is to have a full NVMe stack from VM guest(virtio-nvme) to host(vhost_nvme) to LIO NVMe-over-fabrics target. Now there are lots of duplicated code with linux/nvme-core.c and qemu/nvme.c. The ideal result is to have a multi level NVMe stack(similar as SCSI). So we can re-use the nvme code, for example .-------------------------....

Why is a virtio-nvme guest device needed? I guess there must either be NVMe-only features that you want to pass through, or you think the performance will be significantly better than virtio-blk/virtio-scsi? At first glance it seems like the virtio_nvme guest d...
