There is no code in >>QEMU<< that actually triggers notifications to the
guest when using vhost.
When you are using vhost, interrupts are triggered directly to the guest.
The interrupt lines are mapped as a shared memory, that don't pass
through QEMU, if they don't have to.
Indeed, there is an initial setup in QEMU that makes this configuration.
Note:
The things that I am saying are somewhat deductions from what I've
studied from the code myself and some answers
from qemu-devel (so I cannot assure you on the correctness of this
answer), as the kvm and virtualization community themselves
aren't very active.

Hi Kernel KVM folks and Michael,
I am trying to make VHOST-BLK to work by myself since I did not hear
from Asias on my personal mail to him. I will be grateful to you for
your time and response.
The problem I am seeing is there is no response seen by the VM through
the HOST has executed the IO successfully and issued
vhost_add_used_and_signal. Here is my question. Which code in QEMU
issues virtio_notify() when the VHOST completes the IO in kernel?
I have some related questions. Could I connect a iscsi LUN to a VM via
vhost-scsi? Could you please point me to some documents if there are any?
Thanks and Regards
Sudheer
