[PATCH 1/3 V2] kvm tools: Add memory gap for larger RAM sizes

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

 



e820 is expected to leave a memory gap within the low 32
bits of RAM space. From the documentation of e820_setup_gap():
/*
 * Search for the biggest gap in the low 32 bits of the e820
 * memory space.  We pass this space to PCI to assign MMIO resources
 * for hotplug or unconfigured devices in.
 * Hopefully the BIOS let enough space left.
 */

Not leaving such gap causes errors and hangs during the boot
process.

This patch adds a memory gap between 0xe0000000 and 0x100000000
when using more than 0xe0000000 bytes for guest RAM.

This patch updates the e820 table, slot allocations
used for KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION.

Changes in V2:
 - Allocate RAM with the gap to avoid altering the translation code.
 - New patch description.
