Subject: [PATCH 3/6] vm: use vhost-user networking for crosvm
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 10:48:46 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1f9b01987e964c245ada51ca0f87500bef54bc96.1782409229.git.colby@colbyt.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1782409229.git.colby@colbyt.com>
The crosvm VM test paths used raw tap networking for their primary
network device, while the Cloud Hypervisor paths already used Spectrum's
passt-backed vhost-user-net helper.
Start the existing helper for crosvm and pass it to crosvm with
--vhost-user net,socket=build/vhost-user-net.sock. The net VM still
keeps tap1 for its downstream interface, and the start-vhost-user-net
targets are marked phony like the other service-start targets.
