Subject: [PATCH 22/22] virtio-mem: default-enable "dynamic-memslots"
RH-Author: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com>
RH-MergeRequest: 220: virtio-mem: default-enable "dynamic-memslots"
RH-Jira: RHEL-24045
RH-Acked-by: Miroslav Rezanina <mrezanin@redhat.com>
RH-Commit: [1/1] d9a60acd7de1d8703ea3ca938e388e19f31f5347
JIRA: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-24045
Upstream: RHEL only
We only support selected vhost-user devices in combination with
virtio-mem in RHEL. One devices that works well is virtiofsd, devices that
are currently incompatible include DPDK and SPDK.
The vhost devices we support must be compatible with the dynamic-memslot
feature (i.e., support at least 509 memslots, support dynamically adding/
removing memslots), such that setting "dynamic-memslots=on" will work a
expected and not make certain QEMU commandlines or hotplug of vhost-user
devices bail out.
Let's set "dynamic-memslots=on" starting with RHEL 9.4, so we
get the benefits (i.e., reduced metadata consumption in KVM, majority of
unplugged memory being inaccessible) as default.
When wanting to run virtio-mem with incompatible vhost-user devices, it
might just work (if the vhost-user device is created before the
virtio-mem device), or the feature can be manually disabled by
specifying "dynamic-memslots=off".
