The TC agrees to resolve the following specification issue:
Issue #3: add packed ring layout support
--------------------------------------
This is a proposal to implement an alternative ring layout.
The idea is to have a r/w descriptor in a ring structure, replacing the used
and available ring, index and descriptor buffer.
This is more efficient and easier for devices to implement than the 1.0 layout.
Additionally, a new feature flag is proposed that makes devices promise to process descriptors
in-order. With this feature drivers can also be made simpler and more efficient.
Discussion and performance analysis of this is in Michael Tsirkin's kvm forum 2016 and 2017 presentations.
--------------------------------------
The TC accepts the following proposed changes to the specification:
--------------------------------------
Proposal: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio/201803/msg00041.html
Note: should this proposal be accepted and approved, one or more
claims disclosed to the TC admin and listed on the Virtio TC
IPR page https://github.com/oasis-tcs/virtio-admin/blob/master/IPR.md
might become Essential Claims.
--------------------------------------
The TC agrees to include the above change(s) in specification version(s) "virtio-v1.1-cs01", and future versions of the
specification.

Reminder: A Voting Member must be active in a TC to maintain voting rights. As
the Virtio TC has adopted a standing rule to conduct business only by
electronic ballot, without Meetings, a Voting Member who fails to cast a ballot
in two consecutive Work Product Ballots loses his or her voting rights at the
close of the second ballot missed.
