Yup, kvm->ram_size. If the user requested more than KVM_32BIT_GAP_START, we pretty much have to create the gap, so instead of playing around with different interpretations of ram_size, lets add the gap size - this will let us have just one ram_size. mmap()ing extra space for the gap is free, and that was the plan in the first place (we just got the math wrong :) ). Do you see an issue with increasing kvm->ram_size? -- Sasha. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
