[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/2 V3] virtio-spec: dynamic network offloads configuration |
Date: |
Tue, 2 Apr 2013 14:38:59 +0300 |
From: Dmitry Fleytman <address@hidden>
Virtio-net driver currently negotiates network offloads
on startup via features mechanism and have no ability to
change offloads state later.
This patch introduced a new control command that allows
to configure device network offloads state dynamically.
The patch also introduces a new feature flag
VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_GUEST_OFFLOADS.
