virtio-net: 64 bit features, event index
OK, here's a patch that implements the virtio spec update that I sent earlier. It supercedes the PUBLISH_USED_IDX patches I sent out earlier. Support is added in both userspace and vhost-net. I see nice performance improvements: e.g. from 12 to 18 Gbit/s host to guest with netperf, but did not spend a lot of time testing performance. I hope others will try this out and report. Note: there are 2 new features, reducing the number of interrupts (used_event) and of exits (avail_event). If you see issues or are just curious, you can turn them off separately. For example: -global virtio-net-pci.avail_event=on -global virtio-net-pci.used_event=on -global virtio-blk-pci.avail_event=off -global virtio-blk-pci.used_event=off Also, it's possible to try both vhost-net and virtio-net.
