This kernel module implements a basic interface to the IVSHMEM device for
|
|
LookingGlass when using LookingGlass in VM->VM mode.
|
|
|
|
## Compiling (Manual)
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have your kernel headers installed first, on Debian/Ubuntu use
|
|
the following command.
|
|
|
|
apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
|
|
|
|
Then simply run `make` and you're done.
|
|
|
|
### Loading
|
|
|
|
This module requires the `uio` module to be loaded first, loading it is as
|
|
simple as:
|
|
|
|
modprobe uio
|
|
insmod kvmfr.ko
|
|
|
|
## Compiling & Installing (DKMS)
|
|
|
|
You can install this module into DKMS so that it persists across kernel
|
|
upgrades. Simply run:
|
|
|
|
dkms install .
|
|
|
|
### Loading
|
|
|
|
Simply modprobe the module:
|
|
|
|
modprobe kvmfr
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
This will create the `/dev/uio0` node that represents the KVMFR interface.
|
|
To use the interface you need permission to access it by either creating a
|
|
udev rule to ensure your user can read and write to it, or simply change it's
|
|
ownership manually, ie:
|
|
|
|
sudo chown user:user /dev/uid0
|
|
|
|
Usage with looking glass is simple, you only need to specify the path to the
|
|
device node, for example:
|
|
|
|
./looking-glass-client -f /dev/uio0 -L 16
|
