Let me clarify my question, I am using unmodified stock qemu (1.4.0) and
only the location of vhost file descriptor is different from default (I
don't remove the default /dev/vhost-net directory)
The VHOST file descriptor is present in "/dev/vhost-0" directory instead of
the default "/dev/vhost-net". When I try to give vhostfd in the XML I get a
different error:
2014-07-24 10:42:22.507+0000: 3181: error : qemuMonitorOpenUnix:293 :
failed to connect to monitor socket: No such process
2014-07-24 10:42:22.507+0000: 3181: error : qemuProcessWaitForMonitor:1806
: internal error process exited while connecting to monitor:
qemu-system-x86_64: -netdev
type=tap,id=net1,script=no,downscript=no,ifname=port4,vhost=on,vhostfd=/dev/vhost-0:
Device 'tap' could not be initialized
Whereas if I don't give the vhostfd option in the XML, it uses the default
/dev/vhost-net directory and throws the following error:
2014-07-24 10:41:35.970+0000: 3183: error : qemuMonitorOpenUnix:293 :

The qemu that I am using isn't modified at all. It's the
VHOST drivers
that are mounted elsewhere i.e., not on default /dev/vhost-net.
Here is the command that I use to launch my qemu VM:
qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu host -boot order=c -hda /root/Disks/ubuntu1.qcow2
-m 1024M -smp 2 --enable-kvm -name 'client 1' -nographic -vnc :2 -net none
-no-reboot -mem-path /dev/hugepages -mem-prealloc -netdev
type=tap,id=net1,script=no,downscript=no,ifname=port3,vhost=on -device
virtio-net-pci,netdev=net1,mac=00:00:00:00:00:01,csum=off,gso=off,guest_tso4=off,guest_tso6=off,guest_ecn=off
-netdev type=tap,id=net2,script=no,downscript=no,ifname=port4,vhost=on
-device
virtio-net-pci,netdev=net2,mac=00:00:00:00:00:02,csum=off,gso=off,guest_tso4=off,guest_tso6=off,guest_ecn=off
As you can see I have created tap interfaces port3 & port4 and I just want
to connect the VM to these VMs.
