This reverts commit bc8a99ef06417a2303ccab455f9f045e2a617916.
The vhostuser is not a TAP. Therefore our QoS code is not able to set any bandwidth. I don't really understand what I was thinking.
Yeah, brainfart on both sides, I guess. I mean the naming can get confusing. We still give socket to the chardev if I'm not mistaken. Also didn't you mean the vhost-net instead, that one is a TUN, right? But it's not an interface type, so we don't need to allow it here.
vhost-net is a device under /dev that is a backend for 'virtio' interface model. It is not a TAP device per se. Vhost is a device emulation within KVM (outside of qemu). 'vhost-net' is then an instance for network interfaces.
ACK with ears prepared for both of us :(
Yeah. Luckily we have two pairs of them :-) Pushed, thanks. Michal
