...irectly reclaim and defrag in order to allocate a hugepage if at all possible. In my test-case there is almost no free memory, so some pagecache has to be reclaimed for the process, I don't understand why the THP allocation fails in this case versus when pagecache is lower though. -- Cheers, ~Blairo

...uestions: 1) will this change have any untoward side-effects? 2) if not, then is there any reason not to change it in master until a better solution comes along (or possibly better, alter qemuDomainObjBeginJobInternal to give a domain start job a little longer compared to other jobs)? -- Cheers, ~Blairo

...lated and possibly dumb question: in the case of a high-performance KVM where the guest is hugepage backed and pinned in host memory anyway, why do we still have a table based resolution for guest physical to host virtual address translation - couldn't this just be done by offset? -- Cheers, ~Blairo

...thinking about building a custom package to work around this for the moment, or even attempting to find the right hexedit against the existing shared object o_0... probably a line of thinking I should squash now. Would it be helpful to have this registered as a customer RFE with Red Hat? Cheers, ~Blairo

I've set to copy host configuration (16 cores) and memory is set to 24GB, host has 64GB. Guest is Windows 2012 64bits version Architecture: x86_64 CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit Byte Order: Little Endian CPU(s): 16

Hi There, I've moved some Windows2012 with MSSQL VMs from an hold ESXi 5.5 machine to a more recent and powerful machine running Fedora 24 x86_64 and related libvirt + KVM virtualization. I've moved the VMs filesystem to LVM slices and installed the VirtIO drivers in to all Windows VMs. I've also set both Disk and Network interface to work using VirtIO. So far so good everything works

...5 int monfd; 326 int timeout = 30; /* In seconds */ Is this safe to increase? Is there any reason to keep it at 30s given (from what I'm seeing on a fast 2-socket Haswell system) that hugepage backed guests larger than ~160GB memory will not be able to start in that time? -- Cheers, ~Blairo
