[PATCH 1/2] accel: kvm: Fix memory waste under mismatch page size


From: Keqian Zhu
Subject: [PATCH 1/2] accel: kvm: Fix memory waste under mismatch page size
Date: Tue, 15 Dec 2020 15:19:47 +0800

When handle dirty log, we face qemu_real_host_page_size and
TARGET_PAGE_SIZE. The first one is the granule of KVM dirty
bitmap, and the second one is the granule of QEMU dirty bitmap.

Generally speaking, qemu_real_host_page_size >= TARGET_PAGE_SIZE,
so misuse TARGET_PAGE_SIZE to init kvmslot dirty_bmap may waste
memory. For example, when qemu_real_host_page_size is 64K and
TARGET_PAGE_SIZE is 4K, this bugfix can save 93.75% memory.
