[PATCH 0/6] Add queue ready message to VDUSE
Posted by Eugenio Pérez 1 week, 2 days ago
This series introduces a new VDUSE message for VDUSE userland instance to
detect when a VirtQueue (VQ) is enabled, replacing the polling.

VirtIO net devices' dataplane is started after the control virtqueue so QEMU
can apply the configuration in the destination of a Live Migration. Without
this feature, the VDUSE instance must poll the VQs to check when (and if) a VQ
has been enabled.

This series also implements VDUSE feature flags allowing the VDUSE devices to
opt-in to the VQ ready message.  Devices that opt-in to this feature will
receive explicit notifications when a VQ is ready. Devices that do not set this
flag remain unaffected, ensuring backward compatibility without indefinitely
incrementing API versions.

The VDUSE features is a 64 bit bitmap for simplicity, the same way as vhost and
vhost-net started.  It can be extended as a flexible array of bits when we
reach so many features, but it seems unlikely at this point.

This series depends on
