Hi, I have a specialized e1000 device driver that expects to receive a single frame per interrupt, no more. It's by design and very hard to change (and it does not serve IP traffic). -net socket or tap can sometimes deliver more than one frame in a row and blow up the driver in turn. I'd like to experiment with tap/socket to only call qemu_send_packet..() once and leave pending frames in queue until next time, with hope that guest will have time to process the frame.
The problem is I'm new to kvm and not sure how the main loop is run. Will there be guest execution time between two tap/socket polls, how long is it? Or is guest run in parallel with the event loop and qemu_set_irq() somehow signals guest immediately? -- Duy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
