In the dirty ring case, we rely on vcpu exit due to full dirty ring
state. On ARM64 system, there are 4096 host pages when the host
page size is 64KB. In this case, the vcpu never exits due to the
full dirty ring state. The similar case is 4KB page size on host
and 64KB page size on guest. The vcpu corrupts same set of host
pages, but the dirty page information isn't collected in the main
thread. This leads to infinite loop as the following log shows.
# ./dirty_log_test -M dirty-ring -c 65536 -m 5
Setting log mode to: 'dirty-ring'
Test iterations: 32, interval: 10 (ms)
Testing guest mode: PA-bits:40, VA-bits:48, 4K pages
guest physical test memory offset: 0xffbffe0000
vcpu stops because vcpu is kicked out...
Notifying vcpu to continue
vcpu continues now.
Iteration 1 collected 576 pages
<No more output afterwards>
Fix the issue by automatically choosing the best dirty ring size,
to ensure vcpu exit due to full dirty ring state. The option '-c'
becomes a hint to the dirty ring count, instead of the value of it.
