[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1707297] [NEW] qemu became more picky parsing -m option

[John Florian]

Public bug reported:

With qemu-kvm-2.9.0-3.fc26.x86_64 I am no longer to specify the memory
size using something like "-m 1.00000GiB" but with qemu-
kvm-2.7.1-7.fc25.x86_64 I could without any problem.  I now get an error
message like:

qemu-system-x86_64: -m 1.00000GiB: Parameter 'size' expects a non-negative 
number below 2^64
Optional suffix k, M, G, T, P or E means kilo-, mega-, giga-, tera-, peta-
and exabytes, respectively.


Is this expected or a regression?
