Hi,
thank you! And yes, you are absolutely right. QEMU always fails in
mmap.c after looking at page flags in the extended memory range:
int prot = 0;
if (reserved_va && old_size < new_size) {
abi_ulong addr;
for (addr = old_addr + old_size;
addr < old_addr + new_size;
addr++) {
prot |= page_get_flags(addr);
}
}
if (prot == 0) {
host_addr = mremap(g2h(old_addr), old_size, new_size, flags);
if (host_addr != MAP_FAILED && reserved_va && old_size > new_size) {
mmap_reserve(old_addr + old_size, new_size - old_size);
}
} else {
/* musl's pthread_getattr_np always fails here doing mremaps: */
errno = ENOMEM;
host_addr = MAP_FAILED;
}
I wonder why it cannot just try the remap directly and use the result of
that, but that's clearly a question for the QEMU people.
