Public bug reported:
vhost-user implementation doesn't provide information about all memory regions, and in some cases client is not able to map buffer memory as he is missing memory region information for specific address. Same thing is implemented properly for vhost-net. Below gdb outputs are showing memory regions information provided to the vhost-net and vhost-user. ==== memory regions information provided to vhost-net ==== (gdb) p/x hdev->mem->regions[0] $21 = { guest_phys_addr = 0x100000000, memory_size = 0xc0000000, userspace_addr = 0x2aab6ac00000, flags_padding = 0x0 } (gdb) p/x hdev->mem->regions[1] $22 = { guest_phys_addr = 0xfffc0000, memory_size = 0x40000, userspace_addr = 0x7ffff4a00000, flags_padding = 0x0 } (gdb) p/x hdev->mem->regions[2] $23 = { guest_phys_addr = 0x0, memory_size = 0xa0000, userspace_addr = 0x2aaaaac00000, flags_padding = 0x0 } (gdb) p/x hdev->mem->regions[3] $24 = { guest_phys_addr = 0xc0000, memory_size = 0xbff40000, userspace_addr = 0x2aaaaacc0000, flags_padding = 0x0 } (gdb) ==== memory regions information provided to vhost-user ==== (gdb) p/x msg.memory.nregions $28 = 0x1 (gdb) p/x msg.memory.regions[0] $29 = { guest_phys_addr = 0x0, memory_size = 0x180000000, userspace_addr = 0x2aaaaac00000 } (gdb) ** Affects: qemu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1333688 Title: vhost-user: VHOST_USER_SET_MEM_TABLE doesn't contain all regions Status in QEMU: New Bug description: vhost-user implementation doesn't provide information about all memory regions, and in some cases client is not able to map buffer memory as he is missing memory region information for specific address.
