  3. crosvm

    The Chrome OS Virtual Machine Monitor - Mirror of https://chromium.googlesource.com/crosvm/crosvm/

    Same protocol, but the implementation is at the discretion of whoever writes the server code.

    For example I went to check and in crosvm we use a BTreeMap already for Fids for our p9 implementation (thankfully): https://github.com/google/crosvm/blob/main/common/p9/src/ser...

  4. virtiofsd

    FWIW, the contemporary alternative to 9p is virtiofs. It is implemented as a separate service that is running aside the hypervisor. Originally out of qemu, it was rewritten in Rust as a freestanding project that can also be used with cloud-hypervisor and crosvm.
