Since commit 224245b ("spapr: Add LMB DR connectors"), NUMA node memory size must be aligned to 256MB (SPAPR_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE).
But when "-numa" option is provided without "mem" parameter, the memory is equally divided between nodes, but 8MB aligned. This can be not valid for pseries. In that case we can have: $ ./ppc64-softmmu/qemu-system-ppc64 -m 4G -numa node -numa node -numa node qemu-system-ppc64: Node 0 memory size 0x55000000 is not aligned to 256 MiB With this patch, we have: (qemu) info numa 3 nodes node 0 cpus: 0 node 0 size: 1280 MB node 1 cpus: node 1 size: 1280 MB node 2 cpus: node 2 size: 1536 MB Signed-off-by: Laurent Vivier <lviv...@redhat.com> --- v2: - remove dtc - Add a field in MachineClass to only modify the numa node memory alignment value for pseries-2.9 and upper. hw/core/machine.c | 3 +++ hw/ppc/spapr.c | 2 ++ include/hw/boards.h | 1 + numa.c | 4 ++-- 4 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/hw/core/machine.c b/hw/core/machine.c index 0d92672..2ad5ab5 100644 --- a/hw/core/machine.c +++ b/hw/core/machine.c @@ -396,6 +396,9 @@ static void machine_class_init(ObjectClass *oc, void *data) mc->default_ram_size = 128 * M_BYTE; mc->rom_file_has_mr = true; + /* numa node memory size aligned on 8MB by default */ + mc->numa_mem_align_shift = 23; + object_class_property_add_str(oc, "accel", machine_get_accel, machine_set_accel, &error_abort); object_class_property_set_description(oc, "accel", diff --git a/hw/ppc/spapr.c b/hw/ppc/spapr.c index 6ee566d..1e72fe8 100644 --- a/hw/ppc/spapr.c +++ b/hw/ppc/spapr.c @@ -3096,6 +3096,7 @@ static void spapr_machine_class_init(ObjectClass *oc, void *data) xic->ics_resend = spapr_ics_resend; xic->icp_get = spapr_icp_get; ispc->print_info = spapr_pic_print_info; + mc->numa_mem_align_shift = 28; } static const TypeInfo spapr_machine_info = { @@ -3180,6 +3181,7 @@ static void spapr_machine_2_8_class_options(MachineClass *mc) { spapr_machine_2_9_class_options(mc); SET_MACHINE_COMPAT(mc, SPAPR_COMPAT_2_8); + mc->numa_mem_align_shift = 23; } DEFINE_SPAPR_MACHINE(2_8, "2.8", false); diff --git a/include/hw/boards.h b/include/hw/boards.h index 269d0ba..31d9c72 100644 --- a/include/hw/boards.h +++ b/include/hw/boards.h @@ -135,6 +135,7 @@ struct MachineClass { bool rom_file_has_mr; int minimum_page_bits; bool has_hotpluggable_cpus; + int numa_mem_align_shift; HotplugHandler *(*get_hotplug_handler)(MachineState *machine, DeviceState *dev); diff --git a/numa.c b/numa.c index e01cb54..98e4d02 100644 --- a/numa.c +++ b/numa.c @@ -338,12 +338,12 @@ void parse_numa_opts(MachineClass *mc) if (i == nb_numa_nodes) { uint64_t usedmem = 0; - /* On Linux, each node's border has to be 8MB aligned, + /* On Linux, each node's border has to be aligned, * the final node gets the rest. */ for (i = 0; i < nb_numa_nodes - 1; i++) { numa_info[i].node_mem = (ram_size / nb_numa_nodes) & - ~((1 << 23UL) - 1); + ~((1 << mc->numa_mem_align_shift) - 1); usedmem += numa_info[i].node_mem; } numa_info[i].node_mem = ram_size - usedmem; -- 2.9.3
