# This hook automatically un-allocates static HugePages when stopping a VM.
# This file depends on the PassthroughPOST hook helper script found here:
# https://github.com/PassthroughPOST/VFIO-Tools/tree/master/libvirt_hooks
# Place this script in BOTH these directories (or symlink it):
# $SYSCONFDIR/libvirt/hooks/qemu.d/your_vm/prepare/begin/
# $SYSCONFDIR/libvirt/hooks/qemu.d/your_vm/release/end/
# $SYSCONFDIR usually is /etc/libvirt.
#
# ================ 2021-09-11 update by SharkWipf:
# You probably don't need this script. Any QEMU version since like 2012 has
# been using THP (Transparent HugePages) by default on pretty much every
# distro out there. While static hugepages offer some minor benefits over
# dynamic hugepages, "dynamic" hugepages as this script allocates has none
# of those additional benefits. The only thing this script adds is that
# your VM will refuse to start if no hugepages can be allocated, whereas
# THP would simply fall back to regular pages (and take ages to start, you
# would quickly notice this being the case).
# Basically, this script only re-implements something that QEMU already
# does by default in a more complicated manner. It'll cause more issues
# than it fixes and won't give you any additional performance benefits.
# There's pretty much zero reason to use it nowadays.
#
# If you're still not convinced, just `grep /proc/hugepages -e Huge` while
# your VM is running, you'll see how `AnonHugePages` get allocated
# automatically.
