needs access to the shared memory from the guest to receive and transmit packets. It is important to make sure
the QEMU version supports shared memory mapping.
-* Issues with ``virsh destroy`` not destroying the VM:
-
- Using libvirt ``virsh create`` the ``qemu-wrap.py`` spawns a new process to run ``qemu-kvm``. This impacts the behavior
- of ``virsh destroy`` which kills the process running ``qemu-wrap.py`` without actually destroying the VM (it leaves
- the ``qemu-kvm`` process running):
-
- This following patch should fix this issue:
- http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2014-June/003607.html
-
* In an Ubuntu environment, QEMU fails to start a new guest normally with user space VHOST due to not being able
to allocate huge pages for the new guest:
# "/dev/ptmx", "/dev/kvm", "/dev/kqemu",
# "/dev/rtc", "/dev/hpet", "/dev/net/tun",
# "/dev/<devbase-name>",
+# "/dev/hugepages",
# ]
#
# 4.b) Disable SELinux or set to permissive mode
