In the dirty ring case, we rely on vcpu exit due to full dirty ring state. On ARM64 system, there are 4096 host pages when the host page size is 64KB. In this case, the vcpu never exits due to the full dirty ring state. The similar case is 4KB page size on host and 64KB page size on guest. The vcpu corrupts same set of host pages, but the dirty page information isn't collected in the main thread. This leads to infinite loop as the following log shows. # ./dirty_log_test -M dirty-ring -c 65536 -m 5 Setting log mode to: 'dirty-ring' Test iterations: 32, interval: 10 (ms) Testing guest mode: PA-bits:40, VA-bits:48, 4K pages guest physical test memory offset: 0xffbffe0000 vcpu stops because vcpu is kicked out... Notifying vcpu to continue vcpu continues now. Iteration 1 collected 576 pages <No more output afterwards> Fix the issue by automatically choosing the best dirty ring size, to ensure vcpu exit due to full dirty ring state. The option '-c' becomes a hint to the dirty ring count, instead of the value of it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
