Hello, friends.
I encounter a problem when i use ivshmem with my guest, my ivshmem server is not start, and output a error : Example code, do not use in production ,cannot bind.


Detail distribution: 
Today, I know ivshmem from a topic "QEMU version 2.10.93 User Documentation", 
Ivshmem: it can create a shared memory that guest device use, so we can use this memory to do something ourselves.
First, I create host memory backend:
     -object memory-backend-file,size=1M,share,mem-path=/dev/shm/ivshmem,id=hostmem
Twice, Bind a shared memory device to my guest:
    -device ivshmem-plain,memdev=hostmem
Then I boot ivshmem servi
    ivshmem-server -p /var/run/ivshmem-server.pid  -S /tmp/ivshmem_socket  -M ivshmem -m /dev/shm -l 1M -n 2
Next time i get this error:
    *** Example code, do not use in production ***
    cannot bind
And i search the problem on google, but nothing to get, hope you can help me solve it.
following message is my host environment:
    host:  ubuntu 1604
    qemu:  version 2.10.90 (v2.11.0-rc0-dirty)
    libvirt:  libvirtd (libvirt) 3.9.0
    guest:    window 7 professor
