[libvirt] [RFC v3 1/4] nvdimm: introduce more config elements into xml for NVDIMM memory

Wed Dec 12 12:52:34 UTC 2018


1.alignsize
The 'alignsize' option allows users to specify the proper alignment.

2.pmem
The 'pmem' option allows users to specify whether the backend storage of
memory-backend-file is a real persistent memory.

3.unarmed
The 'unarmed' option allows users to mark vNVDIMM read-only.

These options can be configured respectively or simultaneously in domain
xml file, here is an example:
<devices>
  ...
  <memory model='nvdimm' access='shared'>
      <source>
          <path>/dev/dax0.0</path>
          <alignsize unit='MiB'>2</alignsize>
          <pmem/>
      </source>
      <target>
          <size unit='MiB'>4094</size>
          <node>0</node>
          <label>
              <size unit='MiB'>2</size>
          </label>
          <unarmed/>
      </target>
  </memory>
  ...
</devices>
