move memory module align to PostParse time

[PATCH v1 10/10] NEWS.rs: document memory alignment improvements

Posted by Daniel Henrique Barboza 5 years, 2 months ago

Document that we're not reflecting the aligned value in the
live domain XML, and that we fixed a bug that occurred in
pSeries guests where a guest might start with an extra 256MiB
of memory.

 * **Improvements**
 
+  * qemu: reflect the actual memory being used in live XML
+
+    Memory modules are aligned internally to fit platform and
+    architecture constraints. The aligned value is used by QEMU but
+    the live XML reflected just the original values. Libvirt will
+    now inform the actual memory value passed to QEMU in the live
+    XML.
+
 * **Bug fixes**
 
+  * qemu: pSeries guests booting with extra memory
+
+    In certain conditions, a pSeries guest would start with an extra
+    256MiB of memory aside from what was determined in the ``<memory>``
+    and ``<currentMemory>`` values. This issue has been fixed.
+
 * **Removed features**
 
   * hyperv: removed support for the Hyper-V V1 WMI API
