similar to: [PATCHv2 0/2] virtio-net: 64 bit features, event index

OK, here's a patch that implements the virtio spec update that I sent earlier. It supercedes the PUBLISH_USED_IDX patches I sent out earlier. Support is added in both userspace and vhost-net. I see nice performance improvements: e.g. from 12 to 18 Gbit/s host to guest with netperf, but did not spend a lot of time testing performance. I hope others will try this out and report. Note: there

And yet another iteration of virtio-1 support in qemu, tested with the latest virtio kernel patches. Find it at git://github.com/cohuck/qemu virtio-1 Changes from v5: - fixed stupid bug in "virtio: support more feature bits": we need to define a proper prop backend for 64 bit wide handling... - don't negotiate revision 1 unless VERSION_1 is offered - use 64 bit wide features

Another iteration of virtio-1 patches for qemu, as always available on git://github.com/cohuck/qemu virtio-1 This one seems to work together with the current vhost-next patches (well, I can ping :) Changes from v4: - add helpers for feature bit manipulation and checking - use 64 bit feature bits instead of 32 bit arrays - infrastructure to allow devices to offer different sets of feature bits

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab at linux-iscsi.org> Hi QEMU folks, The following is the patch series to support vhost-scsi-pci within the upstream QEMU tree. This includes the refactoring of existing virtio-scsi code from Paolo to allow a VirtIOSCSICommon structure that is shared amoungst existing virtio-scsi-pci device and new vhost-scsi-pci device code. Currently this code requires

We have found it useful to be able to set the linkspeed and duplex settings from the host-side for virtio_net. This obviates the need for guest changes and settings for these fields, and does not require custom ethtool commands for virtio_net. The ability to set linkspeed and duplex is useful in various cases as described here: 16032be virtio_net: add ethtool support for set and get of settings

This is on top of Paolo and Nick's work. Current status: Works now (guest boots fine, no hang any more) with seabios's virtio-scsi disabled. Rebased to latest qemu.org/master Change details are in commit log. TODO: Make seabios happy.
