Re: [Xen-devel] Fix PVFB backend to validate frontend's frame buffer description

[Yosuke Iwamatsu <y-iwamatsu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Sorry for late reply.
I found that with this patch applied, qemu-dm got stuck while creating
a domain that had vfb but no 'videoram' parameter in its configuration.
It seems when no 'videoram' is specified, videoram is set to 0 and
xenfb_configure_fb() fails. It results in qemu-dm abort.
Is this an expected behavior? I think we should allow guest domains to
use at least a few MBs of videoram by default.

Thanks,
--Yosuke
