Hi Rusty & Asias,

I assume you mean something like the following patch to allow kbuild to
work when VHOST_NET + VHOST_SCSI are both enabled and sharing vhost.o,
yes..?

Also included is dropping the now unnecessary vhost.c include, and
allowing vhost_work_flush() to be accessed externally as scsi.c
currently requires.

MST, care to pick this up..?

No, that's a separate issue.

memcpy_fromiovec() has nothing to do with networking: that was just the
first user.  Note that crypto/algif_skcipher.c also uses it.  The
obvious answer is to move it into lib/.

OTOH making vhost_scsi depend on CONFIG_NET is breathtakingly lazy.  I
expect better from experienced kernel hackers :(

Couple of days ago, I have separated the vhost.ko. 

'vhost: Make vhost a separate module'

http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg90825.html

MST wanted to queue it up for 3.11.

That's true. I also want this.

But do you think moving the memcpy_fromiovec stuff is a 3.10 material?

We'll do this for 3.11, 3.10 is bugfixes only now.

Rusty sent a patch that does this:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/244207/

David, looks like you weren't CC'd.
If you agree could you please Ack that patch and then I can merge it
through the vhost tree?
Or if you prefer merge it directly and I'll sort out the dependencies...

Thanks,
