kernel-vm-router

name	kernel-vm-router
description	Use when a Linux kernel task is primarily about QEMU or guest VM execution, including starting or reusing a VM, guest SSH, QGA, reproducing issues inside the guest, or running xfstests or fsstress in the VM. This router chooses the correct VM-side workflow before detailed debugging starts.

Kernel VM Router

Use this router after kernel-workflow-router when the task is VM-first.

Choose The Next Skill

• Use f2fs-qemu-agent-pipeline for normal QEMU bring-up, guest readiness checks, SSH or QGA command execution, and routine kernel or filesystem testing inside the guest.
• Use kernel-debug-orchestrator when the task is an iterative debug loop: instrument, build, boot, reproduce, collect evidence, refine, and repeat.
• Use xfstests-qga-ubuntu when SSH is unavailable and the user specifically needs xfstests management through QGA.
• Use fsstress-qga-deploy when the narrow goal is to expose or run fsstress inside an already running QGA-controlled guest.

Handoff Rules

• Start with f2fs-qemu-agent-pipeline unless the request is clearly xfstests-only or an established debug loop.
• If the guest must be started or verified before anything else, do that first.
• Once the guest runtime is stable and the next step becomes trace analysis or instrumentation planning, switch to kernel-analysis-router.
