Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/7] virtio_user as an alternative exception path
Date: Fri, 23 Dec 2016 07:14:19 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1482477266-39199-1-git-send-email-jianfeng.tan@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1480689075-66977-1-git-send-email-jianfeng.tan@intel.com>
v2: (Lots of them are from yuanhan's comment)
- Add offloding feature.
- Add multiqueue support.
- Add a new patch to postpone the sending of driver ok notification.
- Put fix patch ahead of the whole patch series.
- Split original 0001 patch into 0003 and 0004 patches.
- Remove the original vhost_internal design, just add those into
struct virtio_user_dev for simplicity.
- Reword "control" to "send_request".
- Reword "host_features" to "device_features".
In v16.07, we upstreamed a virtual device, virtio_user (with vhost-user
as the backend). The path to go with a vhost-kernel backend has been
dropped for bad performance comparing to vhost-user and code simplicity.
But after a second thought, virtio_user + vhost-kernel is a good
candidate as an exceptional path, such as KNI, which exchanges packets
with kernel networking stack.
- maintenance: vhost-net (kernel) is upstreamed and extensively used
kernel module. We don't need any out-of-tree module like KNI.
- performance: as with KNI, this solution would use one or more
kthreads to send/receive packets from user space DPDK applications,
which has little impact on user space polling thread (except that
it might enter into kernel space to wake up those kthreads if
necessary).
- features: vhost-net is born to be a networking solution, which has
lots of networking related featuers, like multi queue, tso, multi-seg
mbuf, etc.
