When migrating a VM, we must make sure the destination host
supports as many IPA bits as the source. Otherwise the migration
must fail.

We add a VMState infrastructure to machvirt. On pre_save(),
the current source max_vm_phys_shift is saved.

On destination, we cannot use this information when creating the
VM. The VM is created using the max value reported by the
destination host - or the kvm_type inherited value -. However on
post_load() we can check that this value is compatible with the
source saved value.

Just wondering, how exactly is the guest able to detect the 42b (e.g. vs
42b) configuration?

the source IPA size is saved in the VMState. When restoring it on
post_load we check against the current IPA size (corresponding to the
max the destination KVM does support). The destination IPA size is
chosen before creating the destination VM. If the destination IPA size
is less than the source IPA size, we fail the migration.

Hope this helps

Thanks

No, I asked if the *guest* is able to distinguish e.g. 43 from 44 or if
the device memory setup is sufficient.

Once you create the machine, you setup device memory (using the maxmem
parameter).

From that, you directly know how big the largest guest physical address
will be (e.g. 2TB + (maxram_size - ram_size)). You can check that
against max_vm_phys_shift and error out.

During migration, source and destination have to have the same qemu
cmdline, especially same maxmem parameter. So you would catch an invalid
setup on the destination, without manually migrating and checking
max_vm_phys_shift.

However (that's why I am asking) if the guest can spot the difference
between e.g. 43 and 44, then you should migrate and check. If it is
implicitly handled by device memory position and size, you should not
migrate it.

Ah OK I didn't catch your question. Yes indeed you method is simpler. At
the moment I don't think the guest can make any difference. But the
guest sees the CPU PARange which is fixed currently, as far as I
understand it; also the guest is GPA limited at compilation time with a
given CONFIG_ARM64_PA_BITS_=X config.

So we come back to Dave's remark, if we make CPU PARange match the
max_vm_phys_shift and make the former dynamic, then the guest can see it.

Thanks
