Hi Dave,

We do exactly the same:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/qemu/+/emu-master-dev/hw/pci/goldfish_address_space.c#659

In our case we have no files to map, only pointers returned from
OpenGL or Vulkan.
Do you have the approach to share for this use case?

In December we did this by passing these bits over our guest-host channel
(another driver, goldfish_pipe). Frank is currently working on moving
this into our memory
mapping device as "something changed in the memory you shared".

Do you this it is possible to have virtio-pipe where we could send
arbitrary blobs between
guest and host? We want to move all our drivers into userspace so we
could share memory
using the device you are currently working on and this virtio-pipe to
pass MMIOs and IRQs
to control our devices to avoid dealing with kernel drivers at all.

Thank you.

Regards,
Roman.
