Re: About Inter-VM Communication - Shared Memory

Zou, Terry
 

Wo, you mean ivshmem shared memory privilege for each VM, actually you already referred the doc : )  https://projectacrn.github.io/latest/developer-guides/hld/ivshmem-hld.html

 

Specific to ivshmem, actually it is a simple protocol for virtual VM communication from qemu, just mapping share memory as virtual PCI device in VM. There is no privilege control for each VM, so in ACRN inter-vm commutation, we also follow the same way, no difference for each VM of shared memory R/W.

But if you have hard request for Write control, you can implement it in upper layer application or software right.  

 

Best & Regards

Terry

thank you for your reply, yes I would like to arrange that one vm can read/write to the shared memory (ivshmem) and one of them can only read from there.

Hi Musa, welcome to ACRN community : )

Specific to you question, do you mean R/W privilege for one storage/partition? One VM can R/W the storage and other VM can only read right. Or other resource you want to set privilege?

 

Best &Regards

Hello all,

Is it possible to configure one VM to have R/W privilege and another VM to only read. I couldn't find it in the documentation. https://projectacrn.github.io/latest/developer-guides/hld/ivshmem-hld.html

Thanks
