Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 8/8] qemu: set qemu process' RLIMIT_MEMLOCK when VFIO is used

The domain's max_balloon is the maximum amount of memory the domain can have (in KiB).

In the case of hotplug, we are changing the limit for the already existing qemu process (prlimit() is used under the hood), and for regular commandline additions of vfio devices, we schedule a call to setrlimit() that will happen after the qemu process is forked. --- src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 22 +++--- src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c | 24 +--- 2 files changed, 32 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) +/* VFIO requires all of the guest's memory to be + * locked resident, plus some amount for IO + * space.
