[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 00/11] qemu vhost-user support

vhost-user supports passing vring information to a seperate vhost enabled
user space process, normally a user space vSwitch, through unix domain socket.

In previous DPDK version, we implement a user space character device driver
vhost-cuse in user space DPDK process. vring information is passed to the
cuse driver through ioctl call, including eventfds for interrupt injection and
host notification. A kernel module is developed to copy these fds from
qemu process into our process. We also need some trick to map guest memory.
(TODO: kickfd/callfd is reversed which causes confusion)

known issue in vhost-user implementation in QEMU, reported by haifeng.lin at huawei.com
* QEMU doesn't send correct memory region information with multiple numa node configuration

Thanks Tetsuya for reporting the issue that "FD_ISSET would crash when receive -1
as fd on Ubuntu 14.04".

Huawei Xie (11):
 enable VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_RX
 create vhost_cuse directory and move vhost-net-cdev.c into vhost_cuse
 rename vhost-net-cdev.h to vhost-net.h
 move fd copying(from qemu process into vhost process) to eventfd_copy.c
 copy host_memory_map from virtio-net.c to a new file virtio-net-cdev.c
 make host_memory_map a more generic function.
 implement cuse_set_memory_table in virtio-net-cdev.c
 add select based event driven processing
 vhost user support
 support dev->ifname
 support calling rte_vhost_driver_register after rte_vhost_driver_session_start
