Curretly, the memory region of backed memory is directly mapped to guest's address space, however, it is not true for nvdimm device
This patch let dimm device realize this fact and use DIMMDeviceClass->get_memory_region method to get the mapped memory region Current code did not check the return value of get_memory_region as it assumed the backend memory of pc-dimm is always properly initialized, we make get_memory_region internally catch the case if something is wrong Signed-off-by: Xiao Guangrong <guangrong.x...@linux.intel.com> --- hw/mem/dimm.c | 3 ++- hw/mem/pc-dimm.c | 12 +++++++++++- 2 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/hw/mem/dimm.c b/hw/mem/dimm.c index 4a63409..498d380 100644 --- a/hw/mem/dimm.c +++ b/hw/mem/dimm.c @@ -377,8 +377,9 @@ static void dimm_get_size(Object *obj, Visitor *v, void *opaque, int64_t value; MemoryRegion *mr; DIMMDevice *dimm = DIMM(obj); + DIMMDeviceClass *ddc = DIMM_GET_CLASS(obj); - mr = host_memory_backend_get_memory(dimm->hostmem, errp); + mr = ddc->get_memory_region(dimm); value = memory_region_size(mr); visit_type_int(v, &value, name, errp); diff --git a/hw/mem/pc-dimm.c b/hw/mem/pc-dimm.c index 38323e9..e6b6a9f 100644 --- a/hw/mem/pc-dimm.c +++ b/hw/mem/pc-dimm.c @@ -22,7 +22,17 @@ static MemoryRegion *pc_dimm_get_memory_region(DIMMDevice *dimm) { - return host_memory_backend_get_memory(dimm->hostmem, &error_abort); + Error *local_err = NULL; + MemoryRegion *mr; + + mr = host_memory_backend_get_memory(dimm->hostmem, &local_err); + + /* + * plug a pc-dimm device whose backend memory was not properly + * initialized? + */ + assert(!local_err && mr); + return mr; } static void pc_dimm_class_init(ObjectClass *oc, void *data) -- 1.8.3.1
