[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 8/9] Add memfd based hostmem |
Date: |
Wed, 11 Jan 2017 12:33:46 +0100 |
Add a new memory backend, similar to hostmem-file, except that it
doesn't need to create files. It also enforces memory sealing.
This backend is mainly useful for sharing the memory with other
processes.
Note that Linux supports transparent huge-pages of shmem/memfd memory
since 4.8. It is relatively easier to set up THP than a dedicate
hugepage mount point by using "madvise" in
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled.
Usage:
-object memory-backend-memfd,id=mem1,size=1G
