RHBA-2026:88246 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An update for virtio-win is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.

Description

The virtio-win package provides paravirtualized network drivers for most Microsoft Windows operating systems. Paravirtualized drivers are virtualization-aware drivers used by fully virtualized guests running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Fully virtualized guests using the paravirtualized drivers gain significantly better I/O performance than fully virtualized guests running without the drivers.

Bug Fix(es) and Enhancement(s):

• [rhel-10.2.z] virtio-blk win does not use whole virtqueue (JIRA:RHEL-287200)
