Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/2] migration: Fix non-multiple of page size migration
Date: Wed, 17 May 2017 17:58:09 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170517165810.18164-2-dgilbert@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170517165810.18164-1-dgilbert@redhat.com>
From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <dgilbert@redhat.com>
Unfortunately it's legal to create a VM with a RAM size that's
not a multiple of the underlying host page or huge page size.
Recently I'd changed things to always send host sized pages,
and that breaks if we have say a 1025MB guest on 2MB hugepages.
Unfortunately we can't just make that illegal since it would break
migration from/to existing oddly configured VMs.
Symptom: qemu-system-x86_64: Illegal RAM offset 40100000
as it transmits the fraction of the hugepage after the end
of the RAMBlock (may also cause a crash on the source
- possibly due to clearing bits after the bitmap)
