[RFC PATCH 8/9] pc: adjust e820 map on hot-add and hot-remove

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

 



 Hotplugged memory is not persistent in the e820 memory maps. After hotplugging
 a memslot and rebooting the VM, the hotplugged device is not present.

 A possible solution is to add an e820 for the new memslot in the acpi_piix4
 hot-add handler. On a reset, Seabios (see next patch in series) will enable all
 memory devices for which it finds an e820 entry that covers the devices's address
 range.

 On hot-remove, the acpi_piix4 handler will try to remove the e820 entry
 corresponding to the device. This will work when no VM reboots happen
 between hot-add and hot-remove, but it is not a sufficient solution in
 general: Seabios and GuestOS merge adjacent e820 entries on machine reboot,
 so the sequence hot-add/ rebootVM / hot-remove will fail to remove a
 corresponding e820 entry at the hot-remove phase.
