 Hi all,

I recently noticed that we have quite a bunch of tickets against the vmxnet3 device in our bug trackers, which indicate that this device could be used to crash QEMU in various ways:

 https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues?state=opened&search=vmxnet3

 https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu?field.searchtext=vmxnet3

Having hardly any knowledge about this device and its usage at all, I wonder how much it is still used out there in the wild? If there are still many users of this device, is there anybody interested here in helping to get these crashes fixed in the near future? Otherwise, should we maybe rather mark this device as deprecated and remove it in a couple of releases? What do you think?

 Thomas
