[PATCH kvmtool 01/16] arm: Allow use of hugepage with 16K pagesize host

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

 



From: Suzuki K Poulose <suzuki.poulose@xxxxxxx>

With 16K pagesize, the hugepage size is 32M. Align the guest
memory to the hugepagesize for 16K.

To query the host page size, we use sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE) instead of
getpagesize, as suggested by man 2 getpagesize for portable applications.
Also use the sysconf function instead of getpagesize when setting
kvm->ram_pagesize.
