Hi Team,
I met a problem when I tried to use IVSHMEM.
Below is the configuration from my side:
1. vm xml configuration.
<shmem name='ivshmem'>
<model type='ivshmem-plain'/>
<size unit='M'>2</size>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x10' function='0x0'/>
</shmem>
2. after the booting up and I found the qemu commandline ideedly have the device option:
ps aux | grep ivshmem
root 23797 6.3 11.5 5611712 1860836 ? Sl 14:54 1:26 /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64
.......(ignore other options)
-object memory-backend-file,id=shmmem-shmem0,mem-path=/dev/shm/hostmem,size=4194304,share=yes -device ivshmem-plain,id=shmem0,memdev=shmmem-shmem0,bus=pcie.0,addr=0x10
3. lspci command not shown the device.
4. lshw command indeedly show the device:
