QEMU stores the notification status:
void virtio_queue_set_notification(VirtQueue *vq, int enable)
{
vq->notification = enable; <---- here
if (!vq->vring.desc) {
return;
}
if (virtio_vdev_has_feature(vq->vdev, VIRTIO_F_RING_PACKED)) {
virtio_queue_packed_set_notification(vq, enable);
} else {
virtio_queue_split_set_notification(vq, enable);
I'm wondering why it's necessary to fetch from guest RAM instead of
using vq->notification? It also works for both split and packed
queues so the code would be simpler.
