Subject: [PATCH v5 06/11] vfio: Sanity check maximum number of DMA mappings with RamDiscardMgr
Date: Thu, 21 Jan 2021 12:05:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210121110540.33704-7-david@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210121110540.33704-1-david@redhat.com>

Although RamDiscardMgr can handle running into the maximum number of
DMA mappings by propagating errors when creating a DMA mapping, we want
to sanity check and warn the user early that there is a theoretical setup
issue and that virtio-mem might not be able to provide as much memory
towards a VM as desired.

As suggested by Alex, let's use the number of KVM memory slots to guess
how many other mappings we might see over time.
