I've tested ivshmem with the latest git pull (had minor trouble building on debian sid, vnc and unused var, but trivial to work around).QEMU's -device ivshmem,size=16,shm=/kvm_shmem seems to function as my proposed --shmem pci:0xfd000000:16M:handle=/kvm_shmem except that I can't specify the BAR. I am able to read what I'm given, 0xfd000000, from lspci -vvv; but for our application we need to be able to specify the address on the command line. If folks are open, I would like to request this feature in the ivshmem.
It's not really possible. Qemu does not lay out the BARs, the guest does (specifically the bios). You might be able to re-arrange the layout after the guest boots.
Why do you need the BAR at a specific physical address?
It would be cool to test our application with QEMU, even if we can't use it in production.
Why can't you use qemu in production? -- I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this signature is too narrow to contain. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
