They are never resizable. -- "prealloc" with memory backends (e.g., backends/hostmem.c): Memory backends don't support resizable ram blocks yet. I have patches to support that, and disallow prealloc for them. -- file-based ram blocks are not resizable - mlock -- os_mlock() does a mlockall(MCL_CURRENT | MCL_FUTURE) -- That should work just fine with ordinary mmap() invalidating old mmaps and creating new mmaps(). Just like when hotplugging/unplugging a DIMM. Resizing currently only happens during reboot/migration. If mlock_all would result in issues, we could fallback to old handling (if (enable_mlock) ...) - but I don't think this is necessary. So I don't see an issues with that :) Thanks! --=20 Thanks, David / dhildenb
