[libvirt-users] Inter Shared Memory ( Ivshmem ) : Cannot Bind
Hello, friends. I encounter a problem when i use ivshmem with my guest, my ivshmem server is not start, and output a error : Example code, do not use in production ,cannot bind. Detail distribution: Today, I know ivshmem from a topic "QEMU version 2.10.93 User Documentation", Ivshmem: it can create a shared memory that guest device use, so we can use this memory to do something ourselves. First, I create host memory backend: -object memory-backend-file,size=1M,share,mem-path=/dev/shm/ivshmem,id=hostmem Twice, Bind a shared memory device to my guest: -device ivshmem-plain,memdev=hostmem Then I boot ivshmem servi ivshmem-server -p /var/run/ivshmem-server.pid -S /tmp/ivshmem_socket -M ivshmem -m /dev/shm -l 1M -n 2 Next time i get this error: *** Example code, do not use in production *** cannot bind And i search the problem on google, but nothing to get, hope you can help me solve it. following message is my host environment: host: ubuntu 1604 qemu: version 2.10.90 (v2.11.0-rc0-dirty) libvirt: libvirtd (libvirt) 3.9.0 guest: window 7 professor Refer: https://qemu.weilnetz.de/doc/qemu-doc.html#Inter_002dVM-Shared-Memory-device (topic qemu documention) https://helpmanual.io/help/ivshmem-server/ ( how to use ivshmem-server )

This is not how it works. Looks like you are playing with something that you don't really need, otherwise you would do things differetly. It you are just trying it out, that's fine. Otherwise make sure it's what you need.
