Hi Stefan,
Yes, i also think that it is a right direction, to have some
vhost/vhost-user API here. In this case we will be able to share the
code between all the vhost-user devices, which is important.
We had the same conclusion in this e-mail thread:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-05/msg06955.html
When we backported the fix from the vhost-user-net device to
vhost-user-blk and also provided some additional logic only for the
vhost-user-blk device.
So my idea is, first fix two issues:
- vhost-user-blk reconnect issue (already merged)
- vhost-user-blk migration issue (this patchset)
After it try to review current implementation, so for example the unix
socket logic could be shared between all the vhost-user devices. Maybe
something else could be done here.
Dima.
