This patch series adds support for paravirtual device drivers that use
virtio. virtio is a frame work in Linux for abstracting the details of
virtual IO so that a single device driver (like networking) can be used
with multiple hypervisors using a small shim layer. Currently, Linux
supports a virtio network and a virtio block device and a shim layer for
lguest. I have a PCI shim layer for virtio that is suitable for use in
QEMU. This is currently in Rusty Russell's virtio tree awaiting the
Linux merge window to open again.
Regards,
Anthony Liguori

Hi Anthony, Rusty,
Can you set up an uptodate git repository for the kernel part, other
community members
will also benefit.
I got an oops for vring_kick immediately on the first pkt while testing
this patchset.
Going to debug it tomorrow, hopefully it's not because of patching.
Thanks,
Dor.

Yeah, patches are required that aren't yet in Rusty's queue. I'll
update the list once we've gotten his queue straightened out. The oops
is most certainly from the use of unsigned int in vring_init instead of
unsigned long. I have a patch on
virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org for that but I don't think
Rusty's pulled it in yet.

Anthony Liguori

I'm actually on vacation this week and next week, so my queue won't be updated
for a while. I'll put them all in once I'm back on deck...

I can host it in a branch on kvm.git, if I knew what patches to
include. Anthony, can you post pointers?

That's the required patches from rusty's queue plus my patches based off
the kvm git tree as of 83f9425dc148dbe0d373b7e07f221affff9e91cb

Can you post this to kvm-devel as well next time? I'm sure there is
considerable interest in this work among kvm developers.
