Hi,

I want to use this qemu command '-object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=2048M,mem-path=/mnt/huge,share=on' with libvirt but i can't find the 'mem-path' and 'share' in the documentation.
because the vhost-user backend based on 'share=on' parameter and libvirt support vhostuser i guess there maybe another way to support this parameter?

this is my xml:
 <cpu>
   <numa>
     <cell id='0' cpus='0' memory='1048576' memAccess='shared'/>
     <cell id='1' cpus='1' memory='1048576' memAccess='shared'/>

this memAccess='shared' is exactly what you need in order for the
share='on' to be appended.  I wonder why it's not there.  What libvirt
version are you using?

-bash-4.2# virsh --version
1.2.7


Well, the code was added by commits starting from
def6b35989362cc7ce8474256e19d877ff07a711, described as
v1.2.8-168-gdef6b35, i.e. 128 commits *after* 1.2.8 release, so the
code is in 1.2.9.  Unless you are using some custom build with those
patches back-ported, it's not going to work.  You can try dumping XML
of the machine after it has been defined/created and if that
attributes are not kept in the XML then there's no support for it.

when i create the VM the qemu command is like this without 'share=on' parameter:
-object memory-backend-file,prealloc=yes,mem-path=/dev/hugepages/libvirt/qemu,size=1024M,id=ram-node0 -numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0,memdev=ram-node0
-object memory-backend-file,prealloc=yes,mem-path=/dev/hugepages/libvirt/qemu,size=1024M,id=ram-node1 -numa node,nodeid=1,cpus=1,memdev=ram-node1
