[PATCH v2 0/4] support for virtio packed virtqueues

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



QEMU recently (86044b24e) introduced packed virtqueues for virtio that
supposedly have better cache utilization and performance compared to the
default split queues. So here's a patch set that expose the virtio
parameter as a optional libvirt XML attribute to virtio-backed devices,
e.g.:

    <interface type='user'>
      <mac address='00:11:22:33:44:55'/>
      <model type='virtio'/>
      <driver packed='on'/>
    </interface>

The default value if the attribute is omitted is still 'off' and regular
split virtqueues are used.

v1 -> v2:
	* rebased on current master
	* reworded documentation as suggested by Jason and Michael
