From: Mingwang Li <limingw...@huawei.com> When I start the VM with the following command: $ ./qemu-system-riscv64 -M virt,accel=kvm -m 4096M -cpu host -nographic \ -name guest=riscv-guset \ -smp 2 \ -bios none \ -kernel ./Image \ -drive file=./guest.img,format=raw,id=hd0 \ -device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd0 \ -append "root=/dev/vda rw console=ttyS0 earlycon=sbi" \ -object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=4096M,mem-path=/dev/hugepages,share=on \ -numa node,memdev=mem -mem-prealloc \ -chardev socket,id=char0,path=/mnt/vhost-net0 \ -netdev type=vhost-user,id=mynet1,chardev=char0,vhostforce \ -device virtio-net-pci,mac=52:54:00:00:00:01,netdev=mynet1,mrg_rxbuf=on,csum=on,guest_csum=on,guest_ecn=on \
Then, QEMU displays the following error information: qemu-system-riscv64: Failed initializing vhost-user memory map, consider using -object memory-backend-file share=on qemu-system-riscv64: vhost_set_mem_table failed: Interrupted system call (4) qemu-system-riscv64: unable to start vhost net: 4: falling back on userspace virtio Note that, before starting the kvm-acceled QEMU VM, following temporarily unaccepted QEMU patches should be used: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2021-08/msg02516.html This error was made bacause default main_mem is used to be registered as the system memory, other memory cannot be initialized. Therefore, the system memory should be initialized to the machine->ram, which consists of the default main_mem and other possible memory required by applications, such as shared hugepage memory in DPDK. Also, the mc->defaul_ram_id should be set to the default main_mem, such as "riscv_virt_board.ram" for the virt machine.
