Message-ID: <15689036.1569481343636577160.JavaMail.weblogic@epml02> (raw)

There are several ways that qemu and kvm can communicate.
One of them is the ioctl to /dev/kvm and it is documented in Documentation/virtual/kvm/api.txt.

But there's other ways also: like the pages that are mmap-ed from kvm_vcpu_fault function, 
As far as I know, there is no documentation on such communication channel(but i'm not sure)
