[Qemu-devel] [PATCH RFC 0/4] fixes for pci tree

[Hu Tao]

Michael,

This is fixes for your pci tree.

patch 1 remove signed range as requested.

There are 3 problems in current pci tree, as follows:

1. pc-dimm specified on command line but only -m size (aka not -m 
size,maxmem,slots)

./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -hda
/home/data/libvirt-images/f18.img -smp 2 -object
memory-backend-ram,size=512M,id=ram-node0,prealloc=y,policy=bind,host-nodes=0
-device pc-dimm,id=d0,memdev=ram-node0  -m 640M  -qmp
unix:/tmp/m,server,nowait -monitor stdio -enable-kvm

result:

qemu/hw/mem/pc-dimm.c:110: pc_dimm_get_free_addr: Assertion
`address_space_end > address_space_size' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

patch 2 fixes this.

2. using qemu monitor command object-add to add a memory-backend-ram
   object whose's size is too big

./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -hda
/home/data/libvirt-images/f18.img -smp 2 -m 512M  -qmp
unix:/tmp/m,server,nowait -monitor stdio -enable-kvm

in monitor:
(qemu)object_add memory-backend-ram,size=40960G,id=mem0

result:

qemu just exits with message: Cannot set up guest memory 'mem0': Cannot 
allocate memory

patch 3 fixes this.

3. specifying a non-existing directory for memory-backend-file

./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -hda
/home/data/libvirt-images/f18.img -smp 2 -m 512M,maxmem=1000G,slots=100
-qmp unix:/tmp/m,server,nowait -monitor stdio -enable-kvm -object
memory-backend-file,size=512M,id=mem0,mem-path=/nonexistingdir -device
pc-dimm,id=d0,memdev=mem0

result:

/nonexistingdir: No such file or directory
Bad ram offset fffffffffffff000
Aborted (core dumped)
 
patch 4 fixes this.


please review. Thanks!


Hu Tao (4):
  get rid of signed range
  check if we have space left for hotplugged memory
  exec: don't exit unconditionally if failed to allocate memory
  memory-backend-file: error out if failed to allocate memory
