[PATCH v2 4/4] qemu: support dirty ring feature

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

 



From: Hyman Huang(黄勇) <huangy81@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

QEMU has introduced a dirty ring feature, this patch add
corresponding feature named 'dirty-ring', which enable
dirty ring feature when starting vm.

to enable the feature, libvirt add "-accel dirty-ring-size=xxx"
to QEMU command line, the following XML needs to be added to
the guest's domain description:

<features>
   <kvm>
     <dirty-ring state='on' size='xxx'>
   </kvm>
</features>

if property "state=on" but property "size" not be configured, set
default ring size with 4096.

since dirty ring can only be enabled by specifying "-accel" option
and do not support the legacy style, it seems that there's no
other way to work around this, so we use "-accel" option to specify
accelerator instead of "-machine" when building qemu commandline.

details about the qemu "-accel" option:
