Hi all,
I am trying to communicate two VMs using a virtio driver. Once a data
is moved to the driver I want to notify the other Qemu process that there is
new data available in the buffer. I was thinking about using linux signals to
synchronize both processes but when I register my SIGUSR1 handler in Qemu I am
seeing an strange behavior. After starting the VM and Linux gets loaded, Qemu
is receiving SIGUSR2 at a regular time period. Looking a little bit at the code
I realize that signals are being used for other purposes in Qemu, however,
SIGUSR1 is not used. Is it possible to use signals to synchronize these
processes or should I think about using a different mechanism?
Signals are messy. I recommend using a unix-domain socket for this.
It should be possible to use signals, however you should take care to
mask the signal in all threads except the once you want to be the handler.
