* hostmem: Wire up RAM_NORESERVE via "reserve" propertyDavid Hildenbrand2021-06-151-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Let's provide a way to control the use of RAM_NORESERVE via memory backends using the "reserve" property which defaults to true (old behavior). Only Linux currently supports clearing the flag (and support is checked at runtime, depending on the setting of "/proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory"). Windows and other POSIX systems will bail out with "reserve=false". The target use case is virtio-mem, which dynamically exposes memory inside a large, sparse memory area to the VM. This essentially allows avoiding to set "/proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory == 0") when using virtio-mem and also supporting hugetlbfs in the future. As really only Linux implements RAM_NORESERVE right now, let's expose the property only with CONFIG_LINUX. Setting the property to "false" will then only fail in corner cases -- for example on very old kernels or when memory overcommit was completely disabled by the admin.

* hostmem: use object id for memory region name with >= 4.0Marc-André Lureau2019-01-071-5/+4Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | hostmem-file and hostmem-memfd use the whole object path for the memory region name, and hostname-ram uses only the path component (the object id, or canonical path basename): qemu -m 1024 -object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=1G,mem-path=/tmp/foo -numa node,memdev=mem -monitor stdio (qemu) info ramblock Block Name PSize Offset Used Total /objects/mem 4 KiB 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000040000000 0x0000000040000000 qemu -m 1024 -object memory-backend-memfd,id=mem,size=1G -numa node,memdev=mem -monitor stdio (qemu) info ramblock Block Name PSize Offset Used Total /objects/mem 4 KiB 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000040000000 0x0000000040000000 qemu -m 1024 -object memory-backend-ram,id=mem,size=1G -numa node,memdev=mem -monitor stdio (qemu) info ramblock Block Name PSize Offset Used Total mem 4 KiB 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000040000000 0x0000000040000000 For consistency, change to use object id for -file and -memfd as well with >= 4.0.

* mem: add share parameter to memory-backend-ramMarcel Apfelbaum2018-02-191-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently only file backed memory backend can be created with a "share" flag in order to allow sharing guest RAM with other processes in the host. Add the "share" flag also to RAM Memory Backend in order to allow remapping parts of the guest RAM to different host virtual addresses. This is needed by the RDMA devices in order to remap non-contiguous QEMU virtual addresses to a contiguous virtual address range. Moved the "share" flag to the Host Memory base class, modified phys_mem_alloc to include the new parameter and a new interface memory_region_init_ram_shared_nomigrate. There are no functional changes if the new flag is not used. Reviewed-by: Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Apfelbaum <marcel@redhat.com>

* include/qemu/osdep.h: Don't include qapi/error.hMarkus Armbruster2016-03-221-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 57cb38b included qapi/error.h into qemu/osdep.h to get the Error typedef. Since then, we've moved to include qemu/osdep.h everywhere. Its file comment explains: "To avoid getting into possible circular include dependencies, this file should not include any other QEMU headers, with the exceptions of config-host.h, compiler.h, os-posix.h and os-win32.h, all of which are doing a similar job to this file and are under similar constraints." qapi/error.h doesn't do a similar job, and it doesn't adhere to similar constraints: it includes qapi-types.h. That's in excess of 100KiB of crap most .c files don't actually need. Add the typedef to qemu/typedefs.h, and include that instead of qapi/error.h. Include qapi/error.h in .c files that need it and don't get it now. Include qapi-types.h in qom/object.h for uint16List. Update scripts/clean-includes accordingly. Update it further to match reality: replace config.h by config-target.h, add sysemu/os-posix.h, sysemu/os-win32.h. Update the list of includes in the qemu/osdep.h comment quoted above similarly. This reduces the number of objects depending on qapi/error.h from "all of them" to less than a third. Unfortunately, the number depending on qapi-types.h shrinks only a little. More work is needed for that one. Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> [Fix compilation without the spice devel packages. - Paolo] Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
