2012-10-29virtio-net: enable mrg buf header in tap on linuxMichael S. Tsirkin
Modern linux supports arbitrary header size, which makes it possible to pass mrg buf header to tap directly without iovec mangling. Use this capability when it is there. This removes the need to deal with it in vhost-net as we do now. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>
2012-09-07vhost: Pass device path to vhost_dev_init()Stefan Hajnoczi
The path to /dev/vhost-net is currently hardcoded in vhost_dev_init(). This needs to be changed so that /dev/vhost-scsi can be used. Pass in the device path instead of hardcoding it.

2012-08-01net: Rename vc local variables to ncStefan Hajnoczi
Now that VLANClientState has been renamed to NetClientState all 'vc' local variables should be 'nc'. Much of the code already used 'nc' but there are places where 'vc' needs to be renamed.

2012-08-01net: Rename VLANClientState to NetClientStateStefan Hajnoczi
The vlan feature is no longer part of net core. Rename VLANClientState to NetClientState because net clients are not explicitly associated with a vlan at all, instead they have a peer net client to which they are connected. This patch is a mechanical search-and-replace except for a few whitespace fixups where changing VLANClientState to NetClientState misaligned whitespace.

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.

2011-06-14print meaningful error message in case of --disable-vhost-netMichael Tokarev
When qemu gets compiled without support of vhost-net, any attempt to use it fails with a very clear error message: qemu-system-x86_64: -netdev ...,vhost=on: vhost-net requested but could not be initialized there's absolutely no reason given _why_ it coult not be initialized, and even strace'ing the process in question does not reveal any errors. So print a message telling what's going on. Signed-off-by: Michael Tokarev <mjt@tls.msk.ru> Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>
2011-06-12virtio: event index supportMichael S. Tsirkin
Add support for event_idx feature, and utilize it to reduce the number of interrupts and exits for the guest. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>
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.
