vhost-xxx thread in user space #8

Closed pinggit closed 4 years ago

pinggit commented 4 years ago

in this diagram: image

the vhost worker thread (vhost-xxx) should be in user space. @ldurandadomia , guess you can easily correct that.

Even though they appear in "ps" output and have a PID, the vhost worker processes are actually kernel threads.
