    Subject[PATCH v1 5/5] KVM: selftests: Automate choosing dirty ring size in dirty_log_test
    Date
    In the dirty ring case, we rely on VM_EXIT due to full dirty ring
    state. On ARM64 system, there are 4096 host pages when the host
    page size is 64KB. In this case, the vcpu never exits due to the
    full dirty ring state. The vcpu corrupts same set of pages, but the
    dirty page information isn't collected in the main thread. This
    leads to infinite loop as the following log shows.

    # ./dirty_log_test -M dirty-ring -c 65536 -m 5
    Setting log mode to: 'dirty-ring'
    Test iterations: 32, interval: 10 (ms)
    Testing guest mode: PA-bits:40, VA-bits:48, 4K pages
    guest physical test memory offset: 0xffbffe0000
    vcpu stops because vcpu is kicked out...
    Notifying vcpu to continue
    vcpu continues now.
    Iteration 1 collected 576 pages
    <No more output afterwards>

    Fix the issue by automatically choosing the best dirty ring size,
    to ensure VM_EXIT due to full dirty ring state. The option '-c'
    provides a hint to it, instead of the value of it.
