Proper way to convert an existing xp machine to kvm?

Hi, I've been googling for the 'proper' way to migrate an existing windows box to kvm, but so far, no joy, so I've taken a stab at it. The old box doesn't do a whole lot, so I'm looking to virtualize it, and then shrink it to about 10G (from 250). I use LVM on the vmserver. So, first things fir

Make use of the MAC control virtqueue class to support a MAC filter table. The filter table is managed by the hypervisor. We consider the table to be available if the CTRL_RX feature bit is set. We leave it to the hypervisor to manage the table and enable promiscuous or all-multi mode as necessar

[PATCH v3 4/4] virtio_net: Add support for VLAN filtering in the hypervisor

2009-02-01 Thread Alex Williamson
VLAN filtering allows the hypervisor to drop packets from VLANs that we're not a part of, further reducing the number of extraneous packets recieved. This makes use of the VLAN virtqueue command class. The CTRL_VLAN feature bit tells us whether the backend supports VLAN filtering. Signed-off-by:

Make use of the RX_MODE control virtqueue class to enable the set_rx_mode netdev interface. This allows us to selectively enable/disable promiscuous and allmulti mode so we don't see packets we don't want. For now, we automatically enable these as needed if additional unicast or multicast address

This will be used for RX mode, MAC filter table, VLAN filtering, etc... The control transaction consists of one or more "out" sg entries and one or more "in" sg entries. The first out entry contains a header defining the class and command. Additional out entries may provide data for the command.
