Subject: [PATCH qemu-server v2 2/2] virtio-net: expose host_tunnel option
Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2026 14:06:13 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260626120701.116793-3-f.ebner@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260626120701.116793-1-f.ebner@proxmox.com>
Since the option is disabled starting with machine version 11.0+pve1
as a workaround to bug #7627, give users the possibility to explicitly
enable the option again.
