Also, an expression like "(64 << 10)" is more readable than a "1"
with a tail of zeroes (it's easy to add one zero too many or be one
zero short).

+1 to not open coding raw numbers.

I think it's high time KVM selftests add #defines for the common sizes, e.g. SIZE_4KB,
16KB, 64K, 2MB, 1GB, etc...

Alternatively (or in addition), just #define 1KB, 1MB, 1GB, and 1TB, and then do
math off of those.


Ok. I will have one separate patch to define those sizes in kvm_util_base.h,
right after '#define NSEC_PER_SEC 1000000000L'. Sean, could you let me know
if it looks good to you?

     #define KB         (1UL << 10)
     #define MB         (1UL << 20)
     #define GB         (1UL << 30)
     #define TB         (1UL << 40)

     /* Base page and huge page size */
     #define SIZE_4KB   (  4 * KB)
     #define SIZE_16KB  ( 16 * KB)
     #define SIZE_64KB  ( 64 * KB)
     #define SIZE_2MB   (  2 * MB)
     #define SIZE_32MB  ( 32 * MB)
     #define SIZE_512MB (512 * MB)
     #define SIZE_1GB   (  1 * GB)
     #define SIZE_16GB  ( 16 * GB)

FYI, QEMU uses KiB, MiB, GiB, etc., see [1].


Right. I checked QEMU's definitions and it makes sense to use
KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB. I don't think we need PiB and EiB because
our tests don't use that large memory.

Thanks,
