similar to: [PATCH] drivers/vhost: remove depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL

The CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for a while now and is almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the Linux kernel summit, remove it from any "depends on" lines in Kconfigs.

vhost-blk is an in-kernel virito-blk device accelerator. Due to lack of proper in-kernel AIO interface, this version converts guest's I/O request to bio and use submit_bio() to submit I/O directly. So this version any supports raw block device as guest's disk image, e.g. /dev/sda, /dev/ram0. We can add file based image support to vhost-blk once we have in-kernel AIO interface. There are

Hi, Inspired by vhost-net implementation, I did initial prototype of vhost-blk to see if it provides any benefits over QEMU virtio-blk. I haven't handled all the error cases, fixed naming conventions etc., but the implementation is stable to play with. I tried not to deviate from vhost-net implementation where possible. NOTE: Only change I had to make to vhost core code is to increase

Currently, vhost-net is the only consumer of vhost infrastructure. So vhost infrastructure and vhost-net driver are in a single module. Separating this as a vhost.ko module and a vhost-net.ko module makes it is easier to share code with other vhost drivers, e.g. vhost-blk.ko, tcm-vhost.ko.

Hi All, Here is the latest version of vhost-blk implementation. Major difference from my previous implementation is that, I now merge all contiguous requests (both read and write), before submitting them. This significantly improved IO performance. I am still collecting performance numbers, I will be posting in next few days. Comments ? Todo: - Address hch's comments on annontations -
