[PATCH 1/2] KVM: Disable large pages on misaligned memory slots

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

 



If a slots guest physical address and host virtual address unequal (mod
large page size), then we would erronously try to back guest large pages
with host large pages.  Detect this misalignment and diable large page
support for the trouble slot.
