From 8801ccd0500437a86e3d15a806f37ebb84605dce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Si-Wei Liu Date: Sat, 8 Oct 2022 00:58:58 -0700 Subject: vhost-vdpa: allow passing opened vhostfd to vhost-vdpa MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Similar to other vhost backends, vhostfd can be passed to vhost-vdpa backend as another parameter to instantiate vhost-vdpa net client. This would benefit the use case where only open file descriptors, as opposed to raw vhost-vdpa device paths, are accessible from the QEMU process.
