Re: [libvirt] [RFC] [Patch] Make hugepage testcase arch-agnostic

Hi, I have attached this patch as a response to a recent failure observed on PowerPC architecture by commit 311b4a67. This patch introduces a check for dynamically obtaining system page size for test hugepages-pages6 under 'qemuxml2argv' suite. ( See patch for more verbose problem description) This patch is not the most perfect implementation -- it fails syntax check; and has a Makefile-driven cleanup pending. I will be happy to deck it up and send it if the community concurs with this approach. We could also implement this via a shell script ( just like 'virt-test-aa-helper') but I couldnt find an easy way to determine host page size. Awaiting community responses, Prerna

However, it hardcodes the page size to 4 KB which is only valid for Intel Make check consequently fails on PowerPC where page size is 64KB This makes the hugepages-pages6 test more modular, and enables the page size to be picked up at runtime. --- .../qemuxml2argv-hugepages-pages6.template | 32 ++++++++++++++++++++++ tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c | 24 +++++++++++++++- 2 files changed, 55 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-hugepages-pages6.template
