Re: [PATCH v6 02/39] system/memory: Restrict eventfd dispatch_write() to emulators

t's better to put the answer as the comment in > the code. Under KVM the eventfd notifications are sent directly from the kernel to the relevant fd. There is no reason why under KVM you couldn't inject the eventfds from QEMU but it would be a weird and sub-optimal setup. KVM is perfectly capable of trapping the MMIO accesses in kernel. I don't think eventfd's can be supported for HVF because I don't think it has such a concept. For vhost-user devices they would then rely on VHOST_USER_VRING_KICK over the socket instead. > >> memory_region_dispatch_write_eventfds(mr, addr, data, size, >> attrs)) { >> return MEMTX_OK; >> } -- Alex Bennée Virtualisation Tech Lead @ Linaro

I haven't found a clean way to achieve that yet :/ I sometimes boot up with a virtiofsd mapped to $HOME but it gets a little unstable over time and I haven't had a chance to figure out where things where going wrong. We have the containers to reliably build a cross image of QEMU but we would have to ensure the guest image matches so we don't run into library skew issues. I have had a static build working but thats not a very well supported configuration for qemu-system. -- Alex Bennée Virtualisation Tech Lead @ Linaro
