If we succeeded in creating all threads, but got SIGBUS, @errp is null, and error_append_hint() does nothing. touch_all_pages() then fails without setting an error. Suggested fix: drop the memset_thread_failed = true on thread creation failure, and do something like for (j = 0; j < i; j++) { qemu_thread_join(&memset_thread[i].pgthread); } g_free(memset_thread); memset_thread = NULL; if (i < memset_num_threads) { /* qemu_thread_create() has set @errp */ return false; } if (memset_thread_failed) { error_setg(errp, "os_mem_prealloc: Insufficient free host " "memory pages available to allocate guest RAM"); return false; > + } > + return true; > } One more remark: when creating the N-th thread fails, we patiently wait for thread 0..N-1 to complete their job. I guess that's tolerable. If we want it to fail quickly, we'd need a way to tell the threads to abandon the job.
