Hi all,

I need a mechanism to share memory between my kvm guests to use at an
intrusion tolerance project. I found the Inter-VM Shared Memory
(ivshmem) device driver posted in this mailing list. I am trying to
install and use it, but I have some questions.

Is there a documentation (like a roadmap) about how to put ivshmem
device driver to work and how to test it?

I've compiled the patched kernel with ivshmem enabled as a module.
Now, I'm running kvm over this kernel. So, what is the next step?

I've tried this on my kvm guests:
num =`cat /proc/devices | grep kvm_ivshmem | awk '{print $1}`
mknod --mode=666 /dev/ivshmem $num 0
But, the /proc/devices file has no reference to kvm_ivshmem.


Thanks,

Valdir.
