Re: [libvirt] [Qemu-devel] Virtio-net control queue handling
Hi Stefan,
Thanks for directing question to correct people, yes your understanding is correct.
I want virtio-net control virtqueue to be handled by vhost-user-net device based backend
for vdpa use case where control message would do some configuration on actual hw device.
Or these changes should to be done in libvirt where QMP event are being handled as of
now?
Regards
Nikhil

Is there any option in QEMU to offload virtio device control queue

I'm not sure I understand your question. It could be because of
terminology:
"virtio device control queue" == virtio-net control virtqueue?
"backend" == vhost-user-net device backend?
"message" == QMP event?
I have CCed Jason Wang, QEMU network subsystem maintainer, and the libvirt mailing list.
