Public bug reported:
[Test environment]
Host OS : Ubuntu19.10
Host kernel: 5.3.0-13-generic
Host QEMU: QEMU emulator version 4.0.0 (Debian 1:4.0+dfsg-0ubuntu9)
Guest OS : Ubuntu19.10
Gust kernel: 5.3.0-13-generic
[platform]
ICX-SP 2s with BPS installed.
[Reproduce Steps]
1. dd 256 img successfully
qemu-img create -f raw $XVS_DATA/var/nvdimm_disk_file/nvdimm_back_$i.img 318M
2. create 1 guest with 256 nvdimm devices
qemu-system-x86_64 -accel kvm -monitor pty -daemonize -serial

memory-backend-file,id=mem2,share,mem-path=/share/xvs/var/nvdimm_disk_file/nvdimm_back_2.img,size=318M
-device nvdimm,memdev=mem2,id=nv2,label-size=128k ...... -object
memory-backend-file,id=mem256,share,mem-path=/share/xvs/var/nvdimm_disk_file/nvdimm_back_256.img,size=318M
-device nvdimm,memdev=mem256,id=nv256,label-size=128k -M q35,nvdimm
Note: …….means to repeat backend with:
-object
memory-backend-file,id=mem2,share,mem-path=/share/xvs/var/nvdimm_disk_file/nvdimm_back_2.img,size=318M
-device nvdimm,memdev=mem2,id=nv2,label-size=128k
3. Change the namespace mode in guest.
ndctl list found 256 namespace
.
.
{
"dev":"namespace166.0",
"mode":"raw",
"size":333316096,
"sector_size":512,
"blockdev":"pmem166"
},
{
"dev":"namespace222.0",
"mode":"raw",
"size":333316096,
"sector_size":512,
"blockdev":"pmem222"
},
{
"dev":"namespace60.0",
"mode":"raw",
"size":333316096,
"sector_size":512,
"blockdev":"pmem60"
}
]
root@qa:~# ndctl create-namespace -f -e namespace60.0 -m dax
libndctl: ndctl_dax_enable: dax60.0: failed to enable
Error: namespace60.0: failed to enable
failed to reconfigure namespace: No such device or address
[Expect results]
Chang namespace mode successfully without any error.
[Note]
we also tried to use one nvdimm devices as backend to start the guest, Change
the namespace mode successful in guest.
