Re: [libvirt-users] [libvirt] Add support for vhost-user-scsi-pci/vhost-user-blk-pci

FYI there's some more recent discussion over here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2019-December/msg00817.html There isn't any objections to using for vhost-user-blk, so maybe that's a good place to start. Thanks, Cole On 10/15/19 7:34 AM, Li Feng wrote: > Cole Robinson 于2019年

Re: [libvirt-users] [libvirt] Add support for vhost-user-scsi-pci/vhost-user-blk-pci

's sense because we can't attach emulated devices to it, so it's more a fit for the existing vhost-user support. Unfortunately it's not really a clean fit anywhere, there will have to be some kind of compromise. And I'm not sure if or is right for vhost-user-blk, but hopefully others have more clear
