When option -mem-prealloc is used with one or more memory-backend
objects, created backends may not obey configured bind policy or
creation may fail after kernel attempts to move pages according
to bind policy.
Reason is in file_ram_alloc(), which will pre-allocate
any descriptor based RAM if global mem_prealloc != 0 and that
happens way before bind policy is applied to memory range.
One way to fix it would be to extend memory_region_foo() API
and add more invariants that could broken later due implicit
dependencies that's hard to track.
Another approach is to drop adhoc main RAM allocation and
consolidate it around memory-backend. That allows to have
single place that allocates guest RAM (main and memdev)
in the same way and then global mem_prealloc could be
replaced by backend's property[s] that will affect created
memory-backend objects but only in correct order this time.
With main RAM now converted to hostmem backends, there is no
point in keeping global mem_prealloc around, so alias
-mem-prealloc to "memory-backend.prealloc=on"
machine compat[*] property and make mem_prealloc a local
variable to only stir registration of compat property.
*) currently user accessible -global works only with DEVICE
based objects and extra work is needed to make it work
with hostmem backends. But that is convenience option
and out of scope of this already huge refactoring.
Hence machine compat properties were used.

Neither stat(2) nor lseek(2) report the size of Linux devdax pmem
character device nodes. Commit 314aec4a6e
("hostmem-file: reject invalid pmem file sizes") added code to
hostmem-file.c to fetch the size from sysfs and compare against the
user-provided size=NUM parameter:
if (backend->size > size) {
error_setg(errp, "size property %" PRIu64 " is larger than "
"pmem file \"%s\" size %" PRIu64, backend->size,
fb->mem_path, size);
return;
}
It turns out that exec.c:qemu_ram_alloc_from_fd() already has an
equivalent size check but it skips devdax pmem character devices because
lseek(2) returns 0:
if (file_size > 0 && file_size < size) {
error_setg(errp, "backing store %s size 0x%" PRIx64
" does not match 'size' option 0x" RAM_ADDR_FMT,
mem_path, file_size, size);
return NULL;
}
This patch moves the devdax pmem file size code into get_file_size() so
that we check the memory size in a single place:
qemu_ram_alloc_from_fd(). This simplifies the code and makes it more
general.
This also fixes the problem that hostmem-file only checks the devdax
pmem file size when the pmem=on parameter is given. An unchecked
size=NUM parameter can lead to SIGBUS in QEMU so we must always fetch
the file size for Linux devdax pmem character device nodes.

Commit 314aec4a6e ("hostmem-file: reject
invalid pmem file sizes") added a file size check that verifies the
hostmem object's size parameter against the actual devdax pmem file.
This is useful because getting the size wrong results in confusing
errors inside the guest.
However, the code doesn't work properly for files where struct
stat::st_size is zero. Hostmem-file's ->alloc() function returns early
without setting an Error, causing the following assertion failure:
qemu/memory.c:2215: memory_region_get_ram_ptr: Assertion `mr->ram_block' failed.
This patch handles the case where qemu_get_pmem_size() returns 0 but
there is no error.

Guests started with NVDIMMs larger than the underlying host file produce

When QEMU emulates vNVDIMM labels and migrates vNVDIMM devices, it
needs to know whether the backend storage is a real persistent memory,
in order to decide whether special operations should be performed to
ensure the data persistence.
This boolean option 'pmem' allows users to specify whether the backend
storage of memory-backend-file is a real persistent memory. If
'pmem=on', QEMU will set the flag RAM_PMEM in the RAM block of the
corresponding memory region. If 'pmem' is set while lack of libpmem
support, a error is generated.

by the RDMA devices in order to remap non-contiguous
QEMU virtual addresses to a contiguous virtual address range.

When mmap(2) the backend files, QEMU uses the host page size
(getpagesize(2)) by default as the alignment of mapping address.
However, some backends may require alignments different than the page
size. For example, mmap a device DAX (e.g., /dev/dax0.0) on Linux
kernel 4.13 to an address, which is 4K-aligned but not 2M-aligned,
fails with a kernel message like
[617494.969768] dax dax0.0: qemu-system-x86: dax_mmap: fail, unaligned vma (0x7fa37c579000 - 0x7fa43c579000, 0x1fffff)
Because there is no common approach to get such alignment requirement,
we add the 'align' option to 'memory-backend-file', so that users or
management utils, which have enough knowledge about the backend, can
specify a proper alignment via this option.

Commit 57cb38b included qapi/error.h into qemu/osdep.h to get the
Error typedef. Since then, we've moved to include qemu/osdep.h
everywhere. Its file comment explains: "To avoid getting into
possible circular include dependencies, this file should not include
any other QEMU headers, with the exceptions of config-host.h,
compiler.h, os-posix.h and os-win32.h, all of which are doing a
similar job to this file and are under similar constraints."
qapi/error.h doesn't do a similar job, and it doesn't adhere to
similar constraints: it includes qapi-types.h. That's in excess of
100KiB of crap most .c files don't actually need.
Add the typedef to qemu/typedefs.h, and include that instead of
qapi/error.h. Include qapi/error.h in .c files that need it and don't
get it now. Include qapi-types.h in qom/object.h for uint16List.
Update scripts/clean-includes accordingly. Update it further to match
reality: replace config.h by config-target.h, add sysemu/os-posix.h,
sysemu/os-win32.h. Update the list of includes in the qemu/osdep.h
comment quoted above similarly.
This reduces the number of objects depending on qapi/error.h from "all
of them" to less than a third. Unfortunately, the number depending on
qapi-types.h shrinks only a little. More work is needed for that one.
