UML mconsole interface provides a way to set up an event notification channel between vitrual machine and host. This is described here: http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/old/UserModeLinux-HOWTO-10.html#ss10.13 . Event notification can be useful for a variety of purposes.
Currently, notification socket is exposed on an UML machine only as a ProcFS entry. The attached patch exports a function
mconsole_direct_notify, making the socket available to kernel modules.See also pull request maxonthegit/netkit-core#24 , which allows UML machines to start with notification sockets enabled.
