Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH RFC v2 00/12] lib/librte_vhost: vhost-user support

["Xie, Huawei" <huawei.xie@intel.com>]

This patch set is based on latest vhost.
	It  fixes vhost-user memory map/unmap alignment issue.
	It uses VHOST_USER_GET_VRING_BASE as the message for vhost device stop in vhost-user.
	It uses VHOST_SET_VRING_KICK as the message that tells us vhost device is ready in vhost-user.
	
Tetsuya:
	Your abstraction layer hasn't been integrated due to time issue, so now we support both vhost-cuse and vhost-user, but only one driver could be registered.

This is not the final patch, and there might be resource leak issue(which is critical for vhost enabled switch, as vSwitch needs to run endlessly, and virtio in guest VM and VM itself could be restarted repeatedly. Will take effort to check if all the memory region has been unmapped, and if all fds are closed properly in all possible path.)
I have tried to restart virtio-PMD repeatedly and switch between virtio-PMD and virtio-pci several times, it runs smoothly and no resource leak so far.

There are other features like multiple socket file, client mode to be supported.

What if the vhost is terminated due to program error? What if vhost needs to be upgraded dynamically? How could we reconnect to virtio frontend? That is very very important feature if you are working on it. :).

Please help review.
Thanks!
