Subject: 1G huge pages in Linux guest VM
Date: Tue, 8 May 2012 11:38:50 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1336502330.2588.YahooMailClassic@web160505.mail.bf1.yahoo.com> (raw)

Hi,
   I wanted to know if we can pass a hugetlbfs with pagesize=1G created on the host to a Linux guest (The host is running RHEL 6.2 - x86_64 on Intel Westmere)?. 
   I am using RHEL 6.2 on the host and guest and the processor that has been passed by KVM to the guest is Intel Westmere and has the pdpe1gb flag set. Does this mean that the guest supports 1G huge pages?

Thanks, 
Sriram
