Allocating Extra Memory To Guest

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

 



Hi,

1. How should we allocate extra memory to guest other than memory allocated through "qemu_alloc_physram"??
2. How to register the extra allocated memory with KVM?

I have tried to allocate an extra one page to Guest but couldn't succeed; probably somebody had already done this exercise.

1. In Qemu/vl.c, I allocate a page for guest
	a. virt_addr = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,MAP_PRIVATE | 		MAP_ANON, -1, 0);

2. In "machine->init"
	a. ram_addr = qemu_ram_alloc(PAGE_SIZE);
	b.cpu_register_physical_memory(below_4g_mem_size,PAGE_SIZE,ram_addr+of	fset); (offset is the difference between the qemu's virtual address 	got from mmap and qemu's last virtual address allocated through 	"qemu_alloc_physram"

3. Increase "phys_ram_size" and "ram_size" by one page.

Did I miss something here?

Thx,

Venkat
