[KVM_AUTOTEST] add kvm hugepage variant

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

 



After discussion I split the patches.

This patch adds kvm_hugepage variant. It prepares the host system and
start vm with -mem-path option. It does not clean after itself, because it's impossible to unmount and free hugepages before all guests are destroyed.

I need to ask you what to do with change of qemu parameter. Newest versions are using -mempath insted of -mem-path. This is impossible to fix using current config file. I can see 2 solutions:
1) direct change in kvm_vm.py (parse output and try another param)
2) detect qemu capabilities outside and create additional layer (better for future occurrence)

There is also added autotest.libhugetlbfs test.
