[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Fix segfault with ram_size > 4095M without kvm


From: Ryan Harper
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Fix segfault with ram_size > 4095M without kvm
Date: Tue, 23 Feb 2010 09:13:14 -0600
User-agent: Mutt/1.5.6+20040907i

Currently, x86_64-softmmu qemu segfaults when trying to use > 4095M memsize.
This patch adds a simple check and error message (much like the 2047 limit on
32-bit hosts) on ram_size in the control path after we determine we're
not using kvm

Upstream qemu-kvm is affected if using the -no-kvm option; this patch address
the segfault there as well.
