Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
This update adds support for version 1.0 of the virtio protocol to the following drivers: - virtio-rng - virtio-balloon - virtio-serial - virtio-net - virtio-scsi - virtio-block Improvements in virtio 1.0 include better resource utilization and better performance. Note that if the virtual device supports virtio 1.0 as well as the older protocol (referred to as virtio 0.9.5, 0.9, or legacy), the drivers use virtio 1.0.

Description Jeff Nelson 2016-10-13 15:30:42 UTC 
Description of problem:
The content of virtio-win that was shipped in RHEL-7.3 needs to be
backported and released on RHEL-6.9. This is so RHV and RHOSP can
depend on the same Windows guest environment on the latest shipping
releases of RHEL-6 and RHEL-7.

Do not ship pvpanic -- there is no pvpanic support in RHEL-6.

Hello,

Any progress of this bug?
QE plan to do rhel6.9 test recently.We'd like to know when rhel6.9 virtio-win package can be generated.

Thanks
