virtio-vsock support has been added to the nfs-ganesha NFS server.
I'm
currently working on upstreaming virtio-vsock into Linux and QEMU. I
also have patches for the Linux NFS client and server.
Users wishing to share a file system with the guest will need to
configure the NFS server. Perhaps libvirt could handle that given that
it already has <filesystem> syntax.
The basic task is setting up either the kernel nfsd or nfs-ganesha for
the VM to access the NFS export(s). When the VM is destroy the NFS
server can be shut down.
For anyone interested in how configuring a running ganesha instance
works in practice, here is how it is done by the glusterfs Manila
driver:
