What this tool includes is 1. virtio ring bits from linux guest compiled in userspace tools/virtio/linux/ 2. virtio host bits compiled as a linux kernel module tools/virtio/vhost_null 3. some bits to connect the two and test tools/virtio/virtio_test.c I'm using it to tune linux guest and host code. If you have some other guest code, you could still use the module (2), and if you make the API compatible, possibly reuse the test (3) parts of it. It would be nice if you publish changes to the common files, if any, on the list. If you want to distribute the result, the rules for this are in the file COPYING under the linux source tree. > >> And also please let me know whether I can compile and test my virtio > >> things without using Guest OS.
