The virtio-mem is paravirtualized mechanism of adding/removing
memory to/from a VM. A virtio-mem-pci device is split into blocks
of equal size which are then exposed (all or only a requested
portion of them) to the guest kernel to use as regular memory.
Therefore, the device has two important attributes:
1) block-size, which defines the size of a block
2) requested-size, which defines how much memory (in bytes)
is the device requested to expose to the guest.
The 'block-size' is configured on command line and immutable
throughout device's lifetime. The 'requested-size' can be set on
the command line too, but also is adjustable via monitor. In
fact, that is how management software places its requests to
change the memory allocation. If it wants to give more memory to
the guest it changes 'requested-size' to a bigger value, and if it
wants to shrink guest memory it changes the 'requested-size' to a
smaller value. Note, value of zero means that guest should
release all memory offered by the device. Of course, guest has to
cooperate. Therefore, there is a third attribute 'size' which is
read only and reflects how much memory the guest still has. This
can be different to 'requested-size', obviously. Because of name
clash, I've named it 'current' and it is dealt with in future
commits (it is a runtime information anyway).
In the backend, memory for virtio-mem is backed by usual objects:
memory-backend-{ram,file,memfd} and their size puts the cap on
the amount of memory that a virtio-mem device can offer to a
guest. But we are already able to express this info using <size/>
under <target/>.
Therefore, we need only two more elements to cover 'block-size'
and 'requested-size' attributes. This is the XML I've came up
with:
<memory model='virtio-mem'>
<source>
<nodemask>1-3</nodemask>
<pagesize unit='KiB'>2048</pagesize>
</source>
<target>
<size unit='KiB'>2097152</size>
<node>0</node>
<block unit='KiB'>2048</block>
<requested unit='KiB'>1048576</requested>
</target>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/>
</memory>
I hope by now it is obvious that:
1) 'requested-size' must be an integer multiple of
'block-size', and
2) virtio-mem-pci device goes onto PCI bus and thus needs PCI
address.
Then there is a limitation that the minimal 'block-size' is
transparent huge page size (I'll leave this without explanation).

New virHostMemGetTHPSize() is introduced which allows caller to
obtain THP PMD (Page Middle Directory) size, which is equal to
the minimal size that THP can use, taken from kernel doc
(Documentation/admin-guide/mm/transhuge.rst):
Some userspace (such as a test program, or an optimized memory allocation
library) may want to know the size (in bytes) of a transparent hugepage::
cat /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hpage_pmd_size
Since this size depends on the host architecture and the kernel
it won't change whilst libvirtd is running. Therefore, we can use
virOnce() and cache the value. Of course, we can be running under
kernel that has THP disabled or has no notion of THP at all. In
that case a negative value is returned to signal error.

Commit b5e8db8f14 tuned the SPEC file so that libvirt daemons restart
on package upgrade. In order to do that it added a bunch of
parametrized macros using the %global directive. This caused a problem
when running RPM builds on CentOS Stream 8 resulting in:
error: Too many levels of recursion in macro expansion. It is likely
caused by recursive macro declaration.
error: Macro %libvirt_daemon_perform_restart failed to expand
error: line 1275: %global libvirt_daemon_perform_restart() \
if test %libvirt_daemon_needs_restart %1 \
then \
/bin/systemctl try-restart %1.service >/dev/null 2>&1 || : \
fi \
%libvirt_daemon_finish_restart %1
There are 2 important differences between %global and %define
directives:
1) %define is local-only and does have scope - in reality though, its
scope is apparently not really enforced because it behaves exactly
the same way as %global
2) %define is evaluated at the time of use while %global is evaluated
at the time of definition
The latter and the fact the macro is parametrized is the reason why the
RPM builds fails on CentOS. Strangely enough this only happens on
CentOS Stream, but not Fedora (which is also the main proponent of
replacing %define with %global). Anyhow, replacing %global with %define
makes the rpmbuild to pass on both and along with package upgrades.
