At the moment, qemu-xen can't handle memory being relocated by
hvmloader. This may happen if a device with a large enough memory
region is passed through to the guest. At the moment, if this
happens, then at some point in the future qemu will crash and the
domain will hang. (qemu-traditional is fine.)
I think the approach is good. Arguably the two things should be in
two patches.
You mean one in libxl to set allow_memory_relocate, one to do something
about it?
+ const char *s;
+ uint8_t allow_memory_relocate=1;
+
+ s = xenstore_read(HVM_XS_ALLOW_MEMORY_RELOCATE, NULL);
+ if (s)
+ allow_memory_relocate=(uint8_t)strtoll(s, NULL, 0);
Use strtoul, surely, and bool_t (or _Bool). Then there is no need for
the cast. (Also, spaces round `='.)
Remember that hvmloader doesn't actually have a libc; this is a locally
implemented function, and AFAICT the only one implemented is strtoll.
Hmm, and it doesn't seem to have a bool_t either:
pci.c: In function ‘pci_setup’:
pci.c:63:5: error: unknown type name ‘bool_t’
make[7]: *** [pci.o] Error 1
uint8_t is what this uses for various other booleans (is_64bar, &c), so
I'll just follow suit.
