But the example is wrong, this is not about huge pages, it is about architectures with different page size (arm is king here, second place for ppc as far as I know). You can have a guest with 4kb pages on a host with 64kb pages. Then we do "magic" and when we synchronize the dirty bitmap, we update it on guest page sizes. From cpu_physical_memory_set_dirty_lebitmap() unsigned long hpratio = getpagesize() / TARGET_PAGE_SIZE; [...] /* * bitmap-traveling is faster than memory-traveling (for addr...) * especially when most of the memory is not dirty. */ for (i = 0; i < len; i++) { if (bitmap[i] != 0) { c = leul_to_cpu(bitmap[i]); do { j = ctzl(c); c &= ~(1ul << j); page_number = (i * HOST_LONG_BITS + j) * hpratio; addr = page_number * TARGET_PAGE_SIZE; ram_addr = start + addr; cpu_physical_memory_set_dirty_range(ram_addr, TARGET_PAGE_SIZE * hpratio, clients); } while (c != 0); } } This is where the hpratio is used, as you can see, if getpagesize() is smaller than TARGET_PAGE_SIZE, things start to get really rually funny.
