Subject: [PATCH v3 4/5] host/rootfs: Sandbox Cloud Hypervisor
Date: Wed, 03 Dec 2025 10:54:58 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251203-sandbox-v3-4-f16ae06a251e@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251203-sandbox-v3-0-f16ae06a251e@gmail.com>
It only needs access to a small number of resources. Unfortunately, it
needs access to /dev/vfio right now. This should be fixed by using file
descriptor passing instead.
Furthermore, Cloud Hypervisor needs to be able to lock memory. Running
in a user namespace prevents it from having CAP_IPC_LOCK. Therefore, it
is necessary to increase RLIMIT_MLOCK before running Cloud Hypervisor.
