Description

Please vote Yes if you agree with all of the following. If you disagree, please vote No. If you don't have an opinion, please vote Abstain. I move that: The TC agrees to resolve the following specification issue: Issue #89: virtio-net: Add support for the flexible driver notification structure -------------------------------------- When the driver is required to send an available buffer notification to the device, it sends the virtqueue number to be notified. With this new feature, the device can optionally provide a per-virtqueue value for the driver to use in driver notifications, instead of the virtqueue number. Some devices may benefit from this flexibility by providing, for example, an internal virtqueue identifier, or an internal offset related to the virtqueue number. The patch: [https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-comment/202011/msg00004.html](https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-comment/202011/msg00004.html) -------------------------------------- The TC accepts the following proposed changes to the specification: -------------------------------------- https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-comment/202011/msg00004.html](https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-comment/202011/msg00004.html) -------------------------------------- The TC agrees to include the above change(s) in specification version(s) "virtio-v1.2-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. --------------------------------------
