Title:
qemu 5.1.0: Add UNIX socket support for netdev socket
Status in QEMU:
Expired
Bug description:
Note: this is a feature request.
qemu has a way to connect instances using a socket:
-netdev socket,id=str[,fd=h][,listen=[host]:port][,connect=host:port]
This can also be used to connect a qemu instance to something else
using a socket connection, however there is no authentication or
security to the connection, so rather than using a port which can be
accessed by any user on the machine, having the ability to use or
connect to UNIX sockets would be helpful, and adding this option
should be fairly trivial.
UNIX sockets can be found in various parts of qemu (monitor, etc) so I
believe having this on network would make sense.
