Hi all, This week, I focused on design decision about multithread,kqueue or not. As we know, pci_virtio_block doesn't make use of multithread and kqueue, but pci_virtio_net fully makes use of these technologies. Guided by my mentor Alexander, I know it's better to make it multithreaded. Then we talked with Neel and Peter and found that Peter has implemented one excellent multithreaded general block_if which can be used in my project. Finally, I merged Peter's patch and fixed one problem of the block_if. Per my test, the block_if now works perfectly. However, the pci_virtio_block still can't work after switching to block_if. I'll bypass pci_virtio_block since it doesn't impact my SoC project. Thanks
