This isn't actually a new filesystem, but a glue layer between the fuse filesystem and a virtio based back-end. It's similar in functionality to the existing virtio-9p solution, but significantly faster in benchmarks and has better POSIX compliance. Further permformance improvements can be achieved by sharing the page cache between host and guest, allowing for faster I/O and reduced memory use. Kata Containers have been including the out-of-tree virtio-fs (with the shared page cache patches as well) since version 1.7 as an experimental feature. They have been active in development and plan to switch from virtio-9p to virtio-fs as their default solution. There has been interest from other sources as well. The userspace infrastructure is slated to be merged into qemu once the kernel part hits mainline. This was developed by Vivek Goyal, Dave Gilbert and Stefan Hajnoczi" * tag 'virtio-fs-5.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/fuse: virtio-fs: add virtiofs filesystem virtio-fs: add Documentation/filesystems/virtiofs.rst fuse: reserve values for mapping protocol

Filesystems in the Linux kernel
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
This under-development manual will, some glorious day, provide
|
|
comprehensive information on how the Linux virtual filesystem (VFS) layer
|
|
works, along with the filesystems that sit below it. For now, what we have
|
|
can be found below.

|
Core VFS documentation
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
See these manuals for documentation about the VFS layer itself and how its
|
|
algorithms work.
