2017-01-10vhost-net: Notify the backend about the host MTUMaxime Coquelin
This patch provides a way for virtio-net to notify the backend about the host MTU set by the user. Cc: Michael S.

2016-07-07tap: vhost busy polling supportJason Wang
This patch add the capability of basic vhost net busy polling which is supported by recent kernel. User could configure the maximum number of us that could be spent on busy polling through a new property of tap "poll-us". Cc: Greg Kurz <groug@kaod.org> Reviewed-by: Michael S.

2016-06-17vhost-net: save & restore vhost-user acked featuresMarc-André Lureau
The initial vhost-user connection sets the features to be negotiated with the driver. Renegotiation isn't possible without device reset. To handle reconnection of vhost-user backend, ensure the same set of features are provided, and reuse already acked features.

2015-10-22vhost user: add rarp sending after live migration for legacy guestThibaut Collet
A new vhost user message is added to allow QEMU to ask to vhost user backend to broadcast a fake RARP after live migration for guest without GUEST_ANNOUNCE capability. This new message is sent only if the backend supports the new VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_RARP protocol feature. The payload of this new message is the MAC address of the guest (not known by the backend). The MAC address is copied in the first 6 bytes of a u64 to avoid to create a new payload message type. This new message has no equivalent ioctl so a new callback is added in the userOps structure to send the request. Upon reception of this new message the vhost user backend must generate and broadcast a fake RARP request to notify the migration is terminated.

2015-09-24vhost-user: add a new message to disable/enable a specific virt queue.Changchun Ouyang
Add a new message, VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_ENABLE, to enable or disable a specific virt queue, which is similar to attach/detach queue for tap device. virtio driver on guest doesn't have to use max virt queue pair, it could enable any number of virt queue ranging from 1 to max virt queue pair.

2015-09-24vhost-user: add VHOST_USER_GET_QUEUE_NUM messageYuanhan Liu
This is for querying how many queues the backend supports if it has mq support(when VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ flag is set from the quried protocol features). vhost_net_get_max_queues() is the interface to export that value, and to tell if the backend supports # of queues user requested, which is done in the following patch.

2015-06-19vhost: enable vhost without without MSI-XPankaj Gupta
We use vhostforce to enable vhost even if Guests don't have MSI-X support and we fall back to QEMU virtio-net. This gives a very small performance gain, but the disadvantage is that guest now controls which virtio code is running (qemu or vhost) so our attack surface is doubled. This patch will enable vhost unconditionally whenever it's requested. For compatibility, enable vhost when vhostforce is set, as well.

2014-06-19vhost_net_init will use VhostNetOptions to get all its argumentsNikolay Nikolaev
vhost_dev_init will replace devfd and devpath with a single opaque argument. This is initialised with a file descriptor. When TAP is used (through vhost_net), open /dev/vhost-net and pass the fd as an opaque parameter in VhostNetOptions. The same applies to vhost-scsi - open /dev/vhost-scsi and pass the fd.

2013-04-08hw: move headers to include/Paolo Bonzini
Many of these should be cleaned up with proper qdev-/QOM-ification. Right now there are many catch-all headers in include/hw/ARCH depending on cpu.h, and this makes it necessary to compile these files per-target. However, fixing this does not belong in these patches.
