[libvirt] [PATCH v2 3/4] domain_conf: Add support for iothreads in disk definition

John Ferlan jferlan at redhat.com
Tue Aug 26 22:15:48 UTC 2014


Add a new disk "driver" attribute "iothread" to be parsed as the thread
number for the disk to use. In order to more easily facilitate the usage
and configuration of the iothread, a "zero" for the attribute indicates
iothreads are not supported for the device and a positive value indicates
the specific thread to try and use.
