Surprisingly, I can reproduce even by hotplugging a DIMM instead as well - that's good, so it's not related to virtio-mem, lol. Seems to be some QEMU setup issue with older machine types. Can you switch to a newer qemu machine version,

virtio-mem: add memory via add_memory_driver_managed() On Thu, Jun 11, 2020 at 11:35:18AM +0200, David Hildenbrand wrote: > Virtio-mem managed memory is always detected and added by the virtio-mem > driver, never using something like the firmware-provided memory map. > This is the case after an ordinary system reboot, and has to be guaranteed > after kexec.

Virtio-mem managed memory is always detected and added by the virtio-mem driver, never using something like the firmware-provided memory map. This is the case after an ordinary system reboot, and has to be guaranteed after kexec. Especially, virtio-mem added memory resources can contain inaccessible parts ("unblocked memory blocks"), blindly forwarding them to a kexec kernel is

Each virtio-mem device owns exactly one memory region. It is responsible for adding/removing memory from that memory region on request. When the device driver starts up, the requested amount of memory is queried and then plugged to Linux. On request, further memory can be plugged or unplugged. This patch only implements the plugging part. On x86-64, memory can currently be plugged in 4MB

Virtio mem is modern-only. Use LE accessors for config space. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

Hi David, I love your patch! Yet something to improve: [auto build test ERROR on pm/linux-next] [also build test ERROR on linus/master v5.6-rc4 next-20200302] [cannot apply to linux/master mmotm/master] [if your patch is applied to the wrong git tree, please drop us a note to help improve the system. BTW, we also suggest to use '--base' option to specify the base tree in git

If subblock size is large (e.g. 1G) 32 bit math involving it can overflow. Rather than try to catch all instances of that, let's tweak block size to 64 bit. It ripples through UAPI which is an ABI change, but it's not too late to make it, and it will allow supporting >4Gbyte blocks while might become necessary down the road.

This series is based on latest linux-next. The patches are located at: https://github.com/davidhildenbrand/linux.git virtio-mem-v2 I now have acks for all !virtio-mem changes. I'll be happy to get review feedback, testing reports, etc. for the virtio-mem changes. If there are no further comments, I guess this is good to go as a v1 soon.
