    selftests: kvm: Add support for customized slot0 memory size · f53b16ad
    Zhenzhong Duan authored
    Until commit 39fe2fc9 ("selftests: kvm: make allocation of extra
    memory take effect", 2021-05-27), parameter extra_mem_pages was used
    only to calculate the page table size for all the memory chunks,
    because real memory allocation happened with calls of
    vm_userspace_mem_region_add() after vm_create_default().
    
    Commit 39fe2fc9 however changed the meaning of extra_mem_pages to
    the size of memory slot 0.  This makes the memory allocation more
    flexible, but makes it harder to account for the number of
    pages needed for the page tables.  For example, memslot_perf_test
    has a small amount of memory in slot 0 but a lot in other slots,
    and adding that memory twice (both in slot 0 and with later
    calls to vm_userspace_mem_region_add()) causes an error that
    was fixed in commit 000ac429 ("selftests: kvm: fix overlapping
    addresses in memslot_perf_test", 2021-05-29)
    
    Since both uses are sensible, add a new parameter slot0_mem_pages
    to vm_create_with_vcpus() and some comments to clarify the meaning of
    slot0_mem_pages and extra_mem_pages.  With this change,
    memslot_perf_test can go back to passing the number of memory
    pages as extra_mem_pages.
