Re: [libvirt] vhost-net on ethernet interface type

Thanks Laine. The following patch worked for me. --- qemu_command.c.orig2012-12-21 10:12:33.021428569 -0800 +++ qemu_command.c2012-12-17 13:52:41.860110967 -0800 @@ -4972,6 +4972,7 @@ qemuBuildCommandLine(virConnectPtr conn,                if (actualType == VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_NETWORK ||                  actualType == VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_BRIDGE || +                actualType == VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_ETHERNET ||                  actualType == VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_DIRECT) {                  /* Attempt to use vhost-net mode for these types of                     network device */ I am guessing a similar change is needed in qemuDomainAttachNetDevice() for the hotplug case, but I haven't tested that scenario. Could somebody please commit this change as it impacts performance significantly? Please let me know if you need me to do anything further.
