2012-01-03vhost: avoid cpu_get_physical_page_desc()Avi Kivity
This reaches into the innards of the memory core, which are being changed. Switch to a memory API version. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
2011-12-20vhost: convert to MemoryListener APIAvi Kivity
Drop the use of cpu_register_phys_memory_client() in favour of the new MemoryListener API. The new API simplifies the caller, since there is no need to deal with splitting and merging slots; however this is not exploited in this patch. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
2011-08-26vhost-net: cleanup host notifiers at last stepMichael S. Tsirkin
When the vhost notifier is disabled, the userspace handler runs immediately: virtio_pci_set_host_notifier_internal might call virtio_queue_notify_vq. Since the VQ state and the tap backend state aren't recovered yet, this causes "Guest moved used index from XXX to YYY" assertions. The solution is to split out host notifier handling from vhost VQ setup and disable notifiers as our last step when we stop vhost-net. For symmetry enable them first thing on start.

2011-02-01vhost: force vhost off for non-MSI guestsmst@redhat.com
When MSI is off, each interrupt needs to be bounced through the io thread when it's set/cleared, so vhost-net causes more context switches and higher CPU utilization than userspace virtio which handles networking in the same thread. We'll need to fix this by adding level irq support in kvm irqfd, for now disable vhost-net in these configurations. Added a vhostforce flag to force vhost-net back on. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

2010-04-01vhost: vhost net supportMichael S. Tsirkin
This adds vhost net device support in qemu. Will be tied to tap device and virtio by following patches. Raw backend is currently missing, will be worked on/submitted separately. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
