Hi folks, I'm a member of the team at Joyent working to port bhyve to SmartOS (and eventually illumos). While illumos already has a port of KVM/qemu, the design goals and community around bhyve appear to be a much better match for us. Like ZFS, DTrace, and most recently the BSD loader, this seems to be an area where we can benefit through collaboration.
Starting this autumn with the initial port Pluribus crafted in their OpenSolaris fork, we've made good progress on pulling in trunk bhyve from FreeBSD and integrating it into illumos-joyent. Test results have been positive and we're hoping to see it deployed in a wider fashion soon. Now that the project is stabilizing on our end, we would like to reach out about upstreaming fixes or feature work back into FreeBSD. One small fix to posted interrupt handling on Intel (https://smartos.org/bugview/OS-6829) might be a good starting point for us to walk through the process of review and upstreaming. Looking forward to working with you further, - Patrick Mooney _______________________________________________ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
