Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] (VIRTIO-143) balloon: allow transitional devices
[ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/VIRTIO-143?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=59578#comment-59578 ] Michael Tsirkin commented on VIRTIO-143: ---------------------------------------- BALLOT CREATED AT URL: https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/virtio/ballot.php?id=2813 > balloon: allow transitional devices > ----------------------------------- > > Key: VIRTIO-143 > URL: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/VIRTIO-143 > Project: OASIS Virtual I/O Device (VIRTIO) TC > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: virtio 1.0 cs02 > Environment: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> > Reporter: Michael Tsirkin > Assignee: Michael Tsirkin > Fix For: virtio 1.0 cs03 > > > Virtio 1.0 cs02 doesn't include a modern balloon device. At some > point we'll likely define an incompatible interface with a > different ID and different semantics. But for now, it's not a > big effort to support a transitional balloon device: this has the > advantage of supporting existing drivers, transparently, as well > as transports that don't allow mixing virtio 0 and virtio 1 > devices. And balloon is an easy device to test, so it's also > useful for people to test virtio core handling of transitional > devices. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2.2#6258)
