Public bug reported:
I run Kubuntu 22.04 on my laptop, secure boot enabled. First time
trying to use shared filesystems between host and guest.
Created an Ubuntu 22.04 VM for testing with virt-manager. Altered the
VM to enable shared memory:
<memoryBacking>
<source type="memfd"/>
<access mode="shared"/>
</memoryBacking>
And enabled /tmp from host to be shared (as a test):
<filesystem type="mount" accessmode="passthrough">
<driver type="virtiofs"/>
<source dir="/tmp"/>
<target dir="hosttmp"/>
<address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x08" slot="0x00" function="0x0"/>
</filesystem>
Attempting to start the VM fails:
Error starting domain: internal error: process exited while connecting to

In /var/log/libvirt/qemu/ubuntu22.04-fs0-virtiofsd.log I have:
virtio_session_mount: Waiting for vhost-user socket connection...
virtio_session_mount: Received vhost-user socket connection

virtio_session_mount: Received vhost-user socket connection
virtio_loop: Entry
fv_panic: libvhost-user: Invalid slave_req_fd message (0 fd's)
Everything is up-to-date for 22.04.
One google hit for the fv_panic is at Red Hat:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1993825
One upstream seems to be:
https://github.com/torokernel/torokernel/issues/428
And a Debian report: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1017394
It isn't clear to me if this is a configuration issue or a bug, but reading the
above it sounds like it might be a limitation of the virtiofs implementation.
I expected sharing filesystem between guest and host would work.
