I should probably play with this myself, but due to lack of a test system where I can mess with systemd:
Assuming we're on a s390x host (using KVM) and we specify:
+ <memory model='virtio-mem'> + <target dynamicMemslots='yes'> + <size unit='KiB'>2097152</size> + <node>0</node> + <requested unit='KiB'>1048576</requested> + </target> + </memory>
In particular, without
+ <block unit='KiB'>2048</block>
What would be the default value on a s390x host?
In QEMU, we'd be using the default of 1 MiB on a s390x host, which corresponds to the THP size. Note that on an x86_64 host, the default will be 2 MiB.
Ideally, we'd also be using the default of 1 MiB on an s390x host.
How is the default value determined here?
Thanks!
Current libvirt implementation does not generate a default. When not providing the element block an error occurs: error: block size must be a power of two When providing the element block the required minimum value is 1024KiB. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Kind regards Boris Fiuczynski IBM Deutschland Research & Development GmbH Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrats: Wolfgang Wendt Geschäftsführung: David Faller Sitz der Gesellschaft: Böblingen Registergericht: Amtsgericht Stuttgart, HRB 243294
