Hello, I would like to enable vhost-net on an interface of ethernet type. However, this doesn't work, probably due to the following code in libvirt.
if (actualType == VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_NETWORK || actualType == VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_BRIDGE || actualType == VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_DIRECT) { /* Attempt to use vhost-net mode for these types of network device */
Can VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_ETHERNET also be included in the check above? Or is there some reason to disable vhost-net for this type?
I'm not sure if there would be any problem or not; on the surface it seems not. If you're able to build from sources, try it out and, if it works, send a patch (or at least report back here and someone else can make the patch).
