[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 2/6] exec: improve error handling and reporting in file_ram_alloc() and gethugepagesize()

[Hu Tao]

This patch fixes two problems of memory-backend-file:

1. If user adds a memory-backend-file object using object_add command,
   specifying a non-existing directory for property mem-path, qemu
   will core dump with message:

     /nonexistingdir: No such file or directory
     Bad ram offset fffffffffffff000
     Aborted (core dumped)

   with this patch, qemu reports error message like:

     qemu-system-x86_64: -object 
memory-backend-file,mem-path=/nonexistingdir,id=mem-file0,size=128M:
     failed to stat file /nonexistingdir: No such file or directory

2. If user adds a memory-backend-file object using object_add command,
   specifying a size that is less than huge page size, qemu
   will core dump with message:

     Bad ram offset fffffffffffff000
     Aborted (core dumped)

   with this patch, qemu reports error message like:

     qemu-system-x86_64: -object 
memory-backend-file,mem-path=/hugepages,id=mem-file0,size=1M: memory
     size 0x100000 should be euqal or larger than huge page size 0x200000
