Hi Anthony,
Thanks for your reply!
What I am looking for is that whether there is one mechanism that when
virtio-blk host side finished the requests. Instead of using irq to notify
the guest. Is there any other method to notify the guest (guest_notifer)?
Thanks for your time!
Best Wishes,

Hi Jason,
Thanks for your reply! I am more concerned with polling mode about
virtio-blk right now. Later I will focus on polling mode on virtio-net.
I don't know whether the polling mode is already existed for virtio-blk or
we should implement it by ourselves if we need this feature.
Thanks for you

Hi Yaohui,
Yes, there is a flag associated both with the used and the avail rings to
disable notifications. This can be used to implement polling.
There have been multiple research projects/papers that have experimented
with polling.
