Hi, This series allows QEMU to use vhost with legacy virtio devices when host and target don't have the same endianness. Only network devices are covered for the moment. I had already posted a series some monthes ago but it never got reviewed. Moreover, the underlying kernel support was entirely re-written and is still waiting to be applied by Michael. I hence post as RFC. The corresponding kernel patches are available here: http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/virtualization/2015-April/029885.html Please comment. --- Cédric Le Goater (1): vhost_net: re-enable when cross endian Greg Kurz (6): virtio: relax feature check linux-headers: sync vhost.h virtio: introduce virtio_legacy_is_cross_endian() vhost: set vring endianness for legacy virtio tap: add VNET_LE/VNET_BE operations vhost-net: tell tap backend about the vnet endianness hw/net/vhost_net.c | 50 +++++++++++++++++++++++-------------- hw/virtio/vhost.c | 50 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- include/hw/virtio/virtio-access.h | 13 ++++++++++ include/hw/virtio/virtio.h | 1 - include/net/net.h | 6 ++++ linux-headers/linux/vhost.h | 14 ++++++++++ net/net.c | 18 +++++++++++++ net/tap-linux.c | 34 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ net/tap-linux.h | 2 + net/tap.c | 16 ++++++++++++ net/tap_int.h | 2 + 11 files changed, 185 insertions(+), 21 deletions(-) -- Greg _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
