Hi,
I took some notes during the BoF. Please correct me if I got something
wrong or missed something:
* Participants liked idea of weekly(?) "snapshots"/drafts of the VIRTIO spec
in PDF format that are also versioned in some way
* If there is interest in a regular VIRTIO call or IRC meeting let MST
know. There is also a "DPDK-Virtio" call which happens monthly and is
currently used both to discuss implementation progress and questions
about Virtio in general. Maybe we could just rename it to "Virtio
call"?.
* Virtio 1.1 could be released now if someone states that they like it
as is. Otherwise we will fix some more things and do it in a few
weeks.
* A question was raised how to get a new feature into the spec. MST
explained the process. Request a feature bit via a
patch to the mailing list, create github issue, discuss, ask for
ballot.
* someone from OpenSynergy reported that Virtio is used heavily in the
automotive industry and that there is work being done on virtio-audio
* status update on vDPA by Steve
* status update on failover by Sameeh
* brief discussion about what would be needed to save more pci
transactions with packed virtqueues for hardware implementations. I
don't remember many details, agreed to have further discussion on
mailing list.
regards,
Jens
