As it was discussed recently, there's currently no way for the guest to notify the host about panics. Further more, there's no reasonable way to notify the host of other critical events such as an OOM kill. This short patch series introduces a new device named virtio-notifier which does two simple things: 1. Provide a simple interface for the guest to notify the host of critical

This is the initial proposal for a paravirtualized IOMMU device using virtio transport. It contains a description of the device, a Linux driver, and a toy implementation in kvmtool. With this prototype, you can translate DMA to guest memory from emulated (virtio), or passed-through (VFIO) devices. In its simplest form, implemented here, the device handles map/unmap requests from the guest. Future
