Hi, I'm currently trying to get my head around virtio and was wondering how widespread adoption of virtio is amongst the various hypervisors and emulators out there. Obviously I'm familiar with QEMU both via KVM and even when just doing plain emulation (although with some restrictions). As far as I'm aware the various Rust based VMMs have vary degrees of support for virtio devices over KVM as well. CrosVM specifically is embracing virtio for multi-process device emulation. I believe there has been some development work for supporting VIRTIO on Xen although it seems to have stalled according to: https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Virtio_On_Xen Recently at KVM Forum there was Jan's talk about Inter-VM shared memory which proposed ivshmemv2 as a VIRTIO transport: https://events19.linuxfoundation.org/events/kvm-forum-2019/program/schedule/ As I understood it this would allow Xen (and other hypervisors) a simple way to be able to carry virtio traffic between guest and end point. So some questions: - Am I missing anything out in that summary? - How about HyperV and the OSX equivalent? - Do any other type-1 hypervisors support virtio? -- Alex Bennée _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
