If user specifies the same memory backend for two numa nodes: ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -hda /home/data/libvirt-images/f18.img -m 512M \ -qmp unix:/tmp/m,server,nowait -monitor stdio -enable-kvm \ -object memory-backend-ram,size=256M,id=ram0 \ -numa node,nodeid=0,memdev=ram0 \ -numa node,nodeid=1,memdev=ram0 > I am not sure we should write a ton of code to validate qemu > configuration, as long as qemu does not assert. It seems qemu does not provide a way to disable assert currently. Even if I removed asserts on the code path in my test, there is another problem that it hits an infinite in render_memory_region(). > > > Even if we will want backend sharing, we > > can do it after. > > By reverting this patch? So why merge it?
