Subject: [Qemu-devel] file_ram_alloc: unify mem-path, mem-prealloc error handling
Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2014 13:41:53 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140204184153.GA25368@amt.cnet> (raw)


-mem-prealloc asks to preallocate memory residing on -mem-path path. 

Currently QEMU exits in case:

- Memory file has been created but allocation via explicit write 
fails.

And it fallbacks to malloc in case:
- Querying huge page size fails.
- Lack of sync MMU support.
- Open fails.
- mmap fails.

Have the same behaviour for all cases: fail in case -mem-path and
-mem-prealloc are specified for regions where the requested size is
suitable for hugepages.
