[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/2] examples/vhost: vhost example modification to use vhost lib API

Huawei Xie huawei.xie at intel.com
Thu Sep 18 15:19:50 CEST 2014


This vhost example demonstrates how to integrate user space vhost with DPDK
accelerated ethernet vSwitch.
 1) rte_vhost_driver_register initialises vhost driver.
 2) rte_vhost_driver_callback_register registers new_device/destroy_device callbacks.
    Those callbacks should be implemented in ethernet switch application.
    new_device is called when a virtio_device is ready for processing in vSwitch.
    destroy_device is called when a virtio_device is de-activated by guest OS.
 3) rte_vhost_driver_session_start starts vhost driver session loop.
 4) rte_vhost_enqueue/dequeue_burst to send packets to or receive packets from
    guest virtio device. virtio_dev_rx/tx is removed.
 5) zero copy feature is implemented in the example.
 6) mergable rx/tx will be implemented in vhost lib.
