Subject: [PATCH] host/rootfs: Sandbox Cloud Hypervisor
Date: Sat, 06 Dec 2025 05:57:41 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251206-b4-sandbox-v1-1-253be8256649@gmail.com> (raw)

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.  Also, Cloud Hypervisor should not run as
root.

Cloud Hypervisor needs to be able to lock memory.  Running in a user
namespace prevents it from using CAP_IPC_LOCK.  Therefore, it is
necessary to increase RLIMIT_MLOCK before running Cloud Hypervisor.
