My limited undersanding is that, virtiofsd reduces latency by allowing the DAX supporting guest-kernel, which is mounting a virtiofs, to negotiate some shared host-memory, reuse the host-kernels paging without having to do a second level of paging . virtiofsd provides host-pages of read files directly to the guest via iomap. Filing this bug to - document the obstacles that hinder bringing the feature to Windows/Mac - and track the progress of the development of feature, if and when it happens. Windows build of qemu, also does not yet support virtiofsd. So In qemu-project, I have filed https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/623 --- https://gitlab.com/virtio-fs/virtiofsd/-/issues/29
