My limited undersanding is that, virtiofsd reduces latency by allowing the DAX supporting guest-kernel, which is mounting a virtiofs, to negotiate some shared host-memory, reuse the host-kernels paging without having to do a second level of paging .
virtiofsd provides host-pages of read files directly to the guest via iomap.
Filing this bug to
- document the obstacles that hinder bringing the feature to Windows/Mac
- and track the progress of the development of feature, if and when it happens.
Windows build of qemu, also does not yet support virtiofsd. So In qemu-project, I have filed
