With these changes, both virtio-fs and virtio-snd seem to work fine. The
feature to query the number of vqs is not really needed, but I already
had the code.
You can for example boot a machine that has both by executing something
like the following:
$ virtiofsd --sandbox none --socket-path=/tmp/vfsd.sock \
--shared-dir / --announce-submounts \
--tag vfs0
$ vhost-device-sound --socket /tmp/vsnd.sock --backend pipewire
And then simply launching a UML VM directly from /
$ ./linux mem=256M init=/bin/sh \
virtio_uml.device=/tmp/vfsd.sock:26 \
virtio_uml.device=/tmp/vsnd.sock:25 \
root=vfs0 rootfstype=virtiofs
If you want to do a quick sound check, you could e.g. run the following
commands. The mount just avoids alsa configuration from the host to be
picked up, which might have configuration to use pipewire by default.
# mount -t tmpfs none /etc
# arecord | aplay
For me, this works fine on F40 (virtiofsd is installed in /usr/libexec)
