[PATCH 1/8] Revert "qemu: Forbid <memoryBacking><locked> without <memtune><hard_limit>"

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This reverts commit c2e60ad0e5124482942164e5fec088157f5e716a.

Turns out this check is excessively strict: there are ways
other than <memtune><hard_limit> to raise the memory locking
limit for QEMU processes, one prominent example being
tweaking /etc/security/limits.conf.

Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1431793
