13 * The ivshmem server is a daemon that creates a unix socket in listen
14 * mode. The ivshmem clients (qemu or ivshmem-client) connect to this
15 * unix socket. For each client, the server will create some eventfd
16 * (see EVENTFD(2)), one per vector. These fd are transmitted to all
17 * clients using the SCM_RIGHTS cmsg message. Therefore, each client is
18 * able to send a notification to another client without being
19 * "profixied" by the server.
21 * We use this mechanism to send interruptions between guests.
22 * qemu is able to transform an event on a eventfd into a PCI MSI-x
23 * interruption in the guest.
25 * The ivshmem server is also able to share the file descriptor
26 * associated to the ivshmem shared memory.
