[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/2] migration/postcopy: Explicitly disallow huge pa


From: Dr. David Alan Gilbert (git)
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/2] migration/postcopy: Explicitly disallow huge pages
Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2016 20:09:38 +0100

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <address@hidden>

At the moment postcopy will fail as soon as qemu tries to register
userfault on the RAMBlock pages that are backed by hugepages.
However, the kernel is going to get userfault support for hugepage
at some point, and we've not got the rest of the QEMU code to support
it yet, so fail neatly with an error like:

Postcopy doesn't support hugetlbfs yet (/objects/mem1)
