Hi, I'm sorry, the v5 patch doesn't fix the strerror(err) bug because I saw your reply on v4 after I sent v5 to fix what was pointed out by Eric Blake. The v6 patch should hopefully fix also that. Thanks, Vincenzo 2013/11/6 Stefan Hajnoczi > On Tue, Nov 05, 2013 at 05:42:06PM +0100, Vincen

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5] net: Adding netmap network backend

2013-11-05 Thread Vincenzo Maffione
