No changes to SELinux ? I'm reasonably sure the policy should
forbid QEMU from creating the shared memory backing file. For
hugepages, we had to create a per-QEMU directory, label that and
then pass it to QEMU.
Ah, I didn't realize that, especially when the selinux is disabled,
thanks for pointing it out.
This perhaps implies that our XML should not contain the actual
path. Libvirt can just create a path based on the "name" of the
device and set a label of the dir as for hugepages.
The shared memory server socket path is not created by QEMU, but
by a external application (called "ivshmem_server [1]"), creating
it in libvirt implies a force for users. They have to known our
rule first, and start the shared memory server with the right
socket path, and then starts the domain, generally it should be
opposite with the workflow which users want. So IMO it's not
a good way to go.
