I think refering to "main memory" is better here so that the users have a chance to know that they might need to specify the global "-mem-path" parameter here, too. Thomas

After already fixing two issues with the huge page detection mechanism (see commit 159d2e39a860 and 86b50f2e1bef), Greg Kurz noticed another case that caused the guest to crash where QEMU announces huge pages though they should not be available for the guest: qemu-system-ppc64 -enable-kvm ... -mem-path /dev/hugepages \ -m 1G,slots=4,maxmem=32G -object memory-backend-ram,policy=default,size=1G,id=mem-mem1 \ -device pc-dimm,id=dimm-mem1,memdev=mem-mem1 -smp 2 \ -numa node,nodeid=0 -numa node,nodeid=1 That means if there is a global mem-path option, we still have to look at the memory-backend objects that have been specified additionally and return their minimum page size if that value is smaller than the page size of the main memory.
