Previously, vfio uses its own private channel for the secondary
process to get container fd and group fd from the primary process.
This patch changes to use the generic mp channel.
There was a private request to get it in 18.02-rc2.
I have 3 concerns:
1/ It is late
2/ It is not yet reviewed by Anatoly and Konstantin
3/ We try to not rework the existing code in RC2,
because it would totally invalidate the validation work
done for RC1.
Hi Thomas,
We can postpone the VFIO patch until 18.05, and integrate only the first
two patches. First two patches do not change anything in DPDK, so
validation impact should be non-existent.
Yes, possible if it is well reviewed and all comments addressed.
OK then. Jianfeng, let's drop the VFIO patch for now, and postpone it
for 18.05?
