[Qemu-devel] [RFC v2 0/8] packed ring virtio-net userspace backend support

[wexu]

From: Wei Xu <address@hidden>

Todo:
- address Rx slow performance
- event index interrupt suppression test

v1->v2
- sync to tiwei's v5
- reuse memory cache function with 1.0
- dropped detach patch and notification helper(04 & 05 in v1)
- guest virtio-net driver unload/reload support
- event suppression support(not tested)
- addressed feedback from v1

About guest virtio-net load/unload:
Since last_avail, avail_wrap_count, used_idx and used_wrap_count are
all 16 or bool type variables, so I turned to merge them to
'vhost_vring_state.num' in stead of introducing a new case
in handling ioctl, test has been done with a tweak in kernel side like:
