Hi All,

 

The changes to support  single huge page size have been merged into master.  

 

In this first update, the auto-provision of VM huge pages has been changed from 2M to 1G.

 

A subsequent update,  will remove the auto-provisioning of huge pages for both VM and vSwitch.

If any test case is dependent on the default VM huge pages,  a new step will be required to allocate huge pages for VM on a openstack worker node.

Prior to unlocking a worker node , user provisioning of the vSwitch memory would be required,  if vswitch_type is set to OVS-DPDK.

 

Regards,

Tao

Subject: Pending: Support single huge page size for openstack worker node

 

Hi All,

 

Per story 2006295, we are in the process of supporting single huge page size for openstack worker node.  This means we will enforce the provisioning of a single huge page size

per worker, which aligns with the non-openstack worker behavior.   The automated test cases that attempt to allocate both 2M and 1G huge pages on a worker node should be updated.

 

The code changes are available here:
