[pve-devel] [PATCH V2 qemu-server 0/2] add virtio-mem support

[pve-devel] [PATCH V2 qemu-server 0/2] add virtio-mem support

[Alexandre Derumier]

This patch add virtio-mem support, through a new maxmemory option.

a 4GB static memory is needed for DMA+boot memory, as this memory
is almost always un-unpluggeable.

1 virtio-mem pci device is setup for each numa node on pci.4 bridge

virtio-mem use a fixed blocksize with 32k max blocksize,
so blocksize is computed from the maxmemory/32000 with a minimum of
2MB to map THP.
(lower blocksize = more chance to unplug memory).

guests tested:
- ubuntu 22.04 : kernel 5.15 : works out of the box
- debian11: kernel 5.10 : don't display new memory value

more info about virtio-mem:
https://virtio-mem.gitlab.io/


Changelog v2:

- Allow only multiple of 32MB for memory. With lower values, guest sometimes
  hang.  I have tested with step of 32MB from 4G to 768G, it's working fine.

- rebase tests

Alexandre Derumier (2):
  add virtio-mem support
  tests: add virtio-mem tests
