Enable config requirements for IDM ivshmem + virtio-vsock transport#189
Merged
Conversation
For KVM, we currently have a prototype IDM implementation running over virtio-console. Due to performance issues, we might replace it with an implementation based on ivshmem + virtio-vsock. Enable the kernel options that have been found to be necessary for this implementation. Suggested-by: Steven Noonan <steven@edera.dev> Signed-off-by: Simon Veith <simon@edera.dev>
