[PATCH][kvmtool] kvm: Request VM specific limits instead of system-wide ones

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



On arm64, the maximum number of vcpus is constrained by the type
of interrupt controller that has been selected (GICv2 imposes a
limit of 8 vcpus, while GICv3 currently has a limit of 512).

It is thus important to request this limit on the VM file descriptor
rather than on the one that corresponds to /dev/kvm, as the latter
is likely to return something that doesn't take the constraints into
account.
