virtio-blk-data-plane is a subset implementation of virtio-blk. It only handles read, write, and flush requests. It does this using a dedicated thread that executes an epoll(2)-based event loop and processes I/O using Linux AIO. This approach performs very well but can be used for raw image files only. The number of IOPS achieved has been reported to be several times higher than the existing virtio-blk implementation. Eventually it should be possible to unify virtio-blk-data-plane with the main body of QEMU code once the block layer and hardware emulation is able to run outside the global mutex.
