[PATCH 09/44] KVM: ensure that memslot userspace addresses are page-aligned

From: Avi Kivity
Date: Tue Dec 09 2008 - 15:37:15 EST


From: Hollis Blanchard <hollisb@xxxxxxxxxx>

Bad page translation and silent guest failure ensue if the userspace address is
not page-aligned. I hit this problem using large (host) pages with qemu,
because qemu currently has a hardcoded 4096-byte alignment for guest memory
allocations.
