[PATCH] qemu: modprobe vhost-vsock module
Posted by Nikolay Shirokovskiy 5 years, 6 months ago 
/dev/vhost-vsock is usable only if the module is loaded.  Let's load the module
just like in other places where kernel module is required (nbd, pci stub
driver).

Just a note, starting from Linux 4.13 (f4660cc994e1 ("vhost/vsock: use static
minor number")) the kernel module should be automatically loaded when an
application try to open /dev/vhost-vsock.

Did you find a case where that doesn't happen?

Thanks,
Stefano

Nope, it is just older kernel.
