[ZC][KVM] move from ivshmem to ivshmem-doorbell #416

cardigliano commented 5 years ago

'ivshmem' (supported on Qemu v.2.5) seems to be deprecated on latest Qemu/KVM (replaced by 'ivshmem-doorbell' and 'ivshmem-plain'), which is shipped with some distro like Fedora (Qemu v.2.11.1). It is required to migrate from 'ivshmem' to 'ivshmem-doorbell'.

Does PFRING support qemu version > 2.5 ?

cardigliano commented 5 years ago

@jcmathews, since v.2.5 the ivshmem API has been changed and we need to patch ZC to handle that, we will work on that asap and update this issue.

Thanks.
