|
|
This kernel module can be loaded in host kernel to accelerate
|
|
guest networking with virtio_net. Not to be confused with virtio_net
|
|
module itself which needs to be loaded in guest kernel.
|
|
|
|
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will
|
|
be called vhost_net.

---help---
|
|
This kernel module can be loaded in the host kernel to provide AF_VSOCK
|
|
sockets for communicating with guests. The guests must have the
|
|
virtio_transport.ko driver loaded to use the virtio-vsock device.
|
|
|
|
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called
|
|
vhost_vsock.
|
|
|
|
config VHOST
|

tristate
|
|
---help---
|
|
This option is selected by any driver which needs to access
|
|
the core of vhost.

|
|
config VHOST_CROSS_ENDIAN_LEGACY
|
|
bool "Cross-endian support for vhost"
|
|
default n
|
|
---help---
|
|
This option allows vhost to support guests with a different byte
|
|
ordering from host while using legacy virtio.
|
|
|
|
Userspace programs can control the feature using the
|
|
VHOST_SET_VRING_ENDIAN and VHOST_GET_VRING_ENDIAN ioctls.
|
|
|
|
This is only useful on a few platforms (ppc64 and arm64). Since it
|
|
adds some overhead, it is disabled by default.
|
|
|
|
If unsure, say "N".
