It means that you can catch accesses to unassigned addresses between the regions. There are two instances of Sparc32 DMA controller, one to serve ESP and the other for Lance. These are at addresses dma_base and dma_base + 16. Before subpage, this was handled with a switch, but now we rely on the subpage mechanism instead. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm-ppc" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

What is the alignment of those regions then? None? And do regions of
different types overlap even on the same page? Maybe the check reveals
some deeper conflict /wrt KVM. Can you point me to the involved code files?

This new check is there to catch those cases where someone tries to
register regions that are actually incompatible with KVM. IO-MEM regions
do not belong into this category (unless they would split existing KVM
slots in a non-align way), and so the test likely overshoots here.

It should be easy enough to fix. There are two cases that share this code path: 1) same driver registers multiple regions in the same page 2) different drivers register regions in the same page This is case 1, and as you say, we could add a switch statement to handle it. I did not look closely to see how many other callers fall into this category. However, are you suggesting that case 2 is also "goofy" and will never work with KVM? It works in qemu today. As long as case 2 works, case 1 will work too, so why change anything? -- Hollis Blanchard IBM Linux Technology Center -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm-ppc" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I don't understand the point. kvm_set_phys_mem() already works without
this new abort() check.

Fail loudly if we run out of memory slot.
Make sure that dirty log start/stop works with consistent
memory regions
by reporting invalid parameters. This reveals several
inconsistencies in
the vga code, patch to fix them follows later in this series.
And, for simplicity reasons, also catch and report unaligned memory
regions passed to kvm_set_phys_mem (KVM works on page basis).

If it works, it likely needs a cleaner approach to handle all cases.
