This is the implementation of (most of) the original 9p2000 protocol, without the .u or the .l extensions. How to use: 1. Make sure kernel is compiled with: CONFIG_NET_9P=y CONFIG_NET_9P_VIRTIO=y CONFIG_NET_9P_DEBUG=y (At least until code is stable) CONFIG_9P_FS=y 2. Start KVM with '--virtio-9p <dirname>'. What happens now is that a virtio transport with the name 'kvm_9p' is created. The server side of the transport maps dirname to the root of the file system. 3. Within the guest, mount the fs: mount -t 9p -otrans=virtio kvm_9p <local_dir> -oversion=9p2000 This will mount the 9p server to local_dir. Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <levinsasha928@xxxxxxxxx>
This is super cool feature, Sasha! Applied! Would it be possible to have some test case for 'make check' that mounts a host directory in the guest? It'd be really helpful in making sure we don't break it. Other thing is to make the hypervisor and guest kernel work together to automatically mount part of the host filesystem in the guest.
