Abstract:
Secure userspace networking for guests is disclosed. For example, a memory is associated with a guest, which is associated with a virtual device. A hypervisor associated with the guest executes on a processor to map a queue associated with the virtual device to an address space identifier. A request associated with the queue is detected. A page table associated with the virtual device is located based on the address space identifier. The request is translated with the first page table yielding a memory address of a message.
