Hello, This is the v13 of the patchset. Thank you very much for reviewing v12 and sharing your feedback.
We have addressed all the comments from the v12 review except for the following two items, which we will be addressing in subsequent patches: - Prefix log messages with PID in the logging subsystem. - Refactor vfio-user and multi-process code to avoid logic duplication. To touch upon the history of this project, we posted the Proof Of Concept patches before the BoF session in 2018. Subsequently, we have posted 12 versions on the qemu-devel mailing list. You can find them by following the links below ([1] - [12]). Following people contributed to the design and implementation of this project: Jagannathan Raman <jag.ra...@oracle.com> Elena Ufimtseva <elena.ufimts...@oracle.com> John G Johnson <john.g.john...@oracle.com> Stefan Hajnoczi <stefa...@redhat.com> Konrad Wilk <konrad.w...@oracle.com> Kanth Ghatraju <kanth.ghatr...@oracle.com> We would like to thank the QEMU community for your feedback in the design and implementation of this project.
