ACCELERATED DATA OPERATIONS IN VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS

摘要

Systems, methods, and software described herein facilitate accelerated input and output operations with respect to virtualized environments. In an implementation, a computing system passes a process identifier to a kernel driver for a host environment, wherein the process identifier identifies a guest process spawned in a virtual machine and wherein the kernel driver uses the process identifier to determine an allocation of host memory corresponding to guest memory for the guest process and returns the allocation of host memory. Additionally, the computing system performs a mapping of the allocation of host memory to an allocation of guest memory for the guest element.

1. An apparatus comprising:
one or more computer readable storage media; program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable media that, when executed by a processing system to facilitate accelerated input and output with respect to a virtual environment, direct the processing system to at least: pass a process identifier to a kernel driver for a host environment, wherein the process identifier identifies a guest process spawned in a virtual machine and wherein the kernel driver uses the process identifier to determine an allocation of host memory corresponding to guest memory for the guest process and returns the allocation of host memory; perform a mapping of the allocation of host memory to an allocation of guest memory for the guest element.
