Hi Jason,

is there any version of qemu/libvirt available that I can see the
control virtqueue working in action?

Not yet, the qemu part depends on the shadow virtqueue work of Eugenio.
But it will work as:

1) qemu will use a separated address space for the control virtqueue
(shadow) exposed through vhost-vDPA
2) the commands sent through control virtqueue by guest driver will
intercept by qemu
3) Qemu will send those commands to the shadow control virtqueue

Eugenio, any ETA for the new version of shadow virtqueue support in Qemu?

Thanks

Hi Jason. Sorry for the late response.

For the notification part I have addressed all the issues of the RFC
[1], except the potential race conditions Stefan pointed, and tested
with vdpa devices. You can find at
https://github.com/eugpermar/qemu/tree/vdpa_sw_live_migration.d/notifications.rfc
. Since the shadow path is activated only through QMP and does not
interfere with regular operation, I could post to the qemu list if you
prefer. The series will be smaller if merged in steps.

Adding the buffer forwarding on top should not take long.

Thanks!
