MST, This is on top of [PATCH 0/2] vhost-net fix ubuf. Asias He (11): vhost: Remove vhost_enable_zcopy in vhost.h vhost: Move VHOST_NET_FEATURES to net.c vhost: Make vhost a separate module vhost: Remove comments for hdr in vhost.h vhost: Simplify dev->vqs[i] access vhost-net: Cleanup vhost_ubuf and vhost_zcopy vhost-scsi: Remove unnecessary forward struct vhost_scsi declaration

Hi folks, [I am resending to fix the broken thread in the previous one.] This patchset adds vhost-blk support. vhost-blk is a in kernel virito-blk device accelerator. Compared to userspace virtio-blk implementation, vhost-blk gives about 5% to 15% performance improvement. Asias He (5): aio: Export symbols and struct kiocb_batch for in kernel aio usage eventfd: Export symbol

Changes in v6: - Allow device specific fields per vq - Track cmd per vq - Do not track evt - Switch to static array for inflight allocation, completely get rid of the pain to handle inflight allocation failure. Asias He (2): vhost: Allow device specific fields per vq tcm_vhost: Wait for pending requests in vhost_scsi_flush() drivers/vhost/net.c | 60 +++++++++++--------

Move vhost.h to include/linux to allow vhost driver out-of-tree compilation. Currently, this cannot be done properly because the vhost header file is in driver/vhost. To distribute a new vhost driver before it is included in the kernel tree, we need to package it using kmod, dkms, ..., and to compile it out-of-tree using headers provided by the distribution's kernel development package.

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.

The following patches were built over linux-next which contains various vhost patches in mst's tree and the vhost_task patchset in Christian Brauner's tree: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux.git kernel.user_worker branch: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux.git/log/?h=kernel.user_worker The latter patchset handles the review comment

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab at linux-iscsi.org> Hi MST, Greg-KH & Co, The following is -v4 of the in-flight TCM vhost fabric driver for-3.6 code. This series has been rebased into target-pending.git/for-next-merge this evening, and the changelog over the last days from v3 -> v4 has been: *) Rename vhost_vring_target -> vhost_scsi_target (mst + nab) *) Use TRANSPORT_IQN_LEN

This patch series resurrects the earlier multiple TX/RX queues functionality for virtio_net, and addresses the issues pointed out. It also includes an API to share irq's, f.e. amongst the TX vqs. I plan to run TCP/UDP STREAM and RR tests for local->host and local->remote, and send the results in the next couple of days. patch #1: Introduce VIRTIO_NET_F_MULTIQUEUE patch #2: Move
