Aiming these for coming merge window. Nothing should change, but get ready for a non-guest-endian config transports, and > 32 features bits. Final one is just an overdue consolidation. Cheers, Rusty. Rusty Russell (7): virtio_config: introduce size-based accessors. virtio: use size-based config accessors. virtio_config: helpers for non-converting accessors. virtio_config: make

Hi, here's the next version of my virtio-1 qemu patchset. Using virtio-1 virtio-blk and virtio-net devices with a guest kernel built from <1416829787-14252-1-git-send-email-mst at redhat.com> still seems to work for the virtio-ccw transport. Changes from v1: - rebased against current master - don't advertise VERSION_1 for all devices, make devices switch it on individually

Next version of virtio-1 patches for qemu. Only change from v2 is splitting out the vring accessors into a separate header file - should hopefully fix the build issues. Cornelia Huck (9): virtio: cull virtio_bus_set_vdev_features virtio: support more feature bits s390x/virtio-ccw: fix check for WRITE_FEAT virtio: introduce legacy virtio devices virtio: allow virtio-1 queue layout

This patchset aims to get us some way to implement virtio-1 compliant and transitional devices in qemu. Branch available at git://github.com/cohuck/qemu virtio-1 I've mainly focused on: - endianness handling - extended feature bits - virtio-ccw new/changed commands Thanks go to Thomas for some preliminary work in this area. I've been able to start guests both with and without the

Enhanced virtualization protection technology may require the use of bounce buffers for I/O. While support for this was built into the virtio core, virtio-ccw wasn't changed accordingly. Some background on technology (not part of this series) and the terminology used. * Protected Virtualization (PV): Protected Virtualization guarantees, that non-shared memory of a guest that operates in PV

Yet another version of the virtio-1 support patches. This one has seen some (very) light testing with the virtio-1 guest support patches currently on vhost-next. Changes from v3: - Add support for FEATURES_OK. We refuse to set features after the driver has set this in the status field, and we allow to fail setting the status if the features are inconsistent. - Add missing virtio-1 changes

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

Hi, This patch set implements packed ring support in virtio driver. A performance test between pktgen (pktgen_sample03_burst_single_flow.sh) and DPDK vhost (testpmd/rxonly/vhost-PMD) has been done, I saw ~30% performance gain in packed ring in this case. To make this patch set work with below patch set for vhost, some hacks are needed to set the _F_NEXT flag in indirect descriptors (this should

Hello everyone, This RFC implements packed ring support in virtio driver. Some simple functional tests have been done with Jason's packed ring implementation in vhost (RFC v4): https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/5/16/501 Both of ping and netperf worked as expected w/ EVENT_IDX disabled. Ping worked as expected w/ EVENT_IDX enabled, but netperf didn't (A hack has been added in the driver to
