Description Ademar Reis 2015-12-30 19:38:47 UTC 
We'we working on virtio-vsock in QEMU/KVM, which implements a host/guest communication device, allowing applications from both sides to communicate without the need of a network. It implements the POSIX Sockets API and supports both SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_DGRAM.

For virtio-vsock support in QEMU/kernel, see bug 1291282 and bug 1291284.

Once virtio-vsock is implemented, we want NFS (both server and client) to support it so that we can use it to share directories between the host and the guest, a feature we call "Virt-FS".
