[libvirt-users] vhost-net requested but could not be initialized

[Asadullah Hussain]

​The qemu that I am using isn't modified at all. It's the VHOST drivers
that are mounted elsewhere i.e., not on default /dev/vhost-net.

Here is the command that I use to launch my qemu VM:
qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu host -boot order=c -hda /root/Disks/ubuntu1.qcow2
-m 1024M -smp 2 --enable-kvm -name 'client 1' -nographic -vnc :2 -net none
-no-reboot -mem-path /dev/hugepages -mem-prealloc -netdev
type=tap,id=net1,script=no,downscript=no,ifname=port3,vhost=on -device
virtio-net-pci,netdev=net1,mac=00:00:00:00:00:01,csum=off,gso=off,guest_tso4=off,guest_tso6=off,guest_ecn=off
-netdev type=tap,id=net2,script=no,downscript=no,ifname=port4,vhost=on
-device
virtio-net-pci,netdev=net2,mac=00:00:00:00:00:02,csum=off,gso=off,guest_tso4=off,guest_tso6=off,guest_ecn=off
​
As you can see I have created tap interfaces port3 & port4 and I just want
to connect the VM to these VMs.
