The KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID capability was added by commit 0b1b1dfd52a6 ("kvm: introduce KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID") to allow for vcpu ids larger than KVM_MAX_VCPU in powerpc. For a P9 host we depend on the guest VSMT value to know what is the maximum number of vcpu id we can support: kvmppc_core_vcpu_create_hv: (...) if (cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_ARCH_300)) { --> if (id >= (KVM_MAX_VCPUS * kvm->arch.emul_smt_mode)) { pr_devel("KVM: VCPU ID too high\n"); core = KVM_MAX_VCORES; } else { BUG_ON(kvm->arch.smt_mode != 1); core = kvmppc_pack_vcpu_id(kvm, id); } } else { core = id / kvm->arch.smt_mode; } which means that the value being returned by the capability today for a given guest is potentially way larger than what we actually support: \#define KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID (MAX_SMT_THREADS * KVM_MAX_VCORES) If the capability is queried before userspace enables the KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT ioctl there is not much we can do, but if the emulated smt mode is already known we could provide a more accurate value. The only practical effect of this change today is to make the kvm_create_max_vcpus test pass for powerpc. The QEMU spapr machine has a lower max vcpu than what KVM allows so even KVM_MAX_VCPU is not reached. Signed-off-by: Fabiano Rosas <farosas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
This patch won't apply after commit a1c42ddedf35 ("kvm: rename KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID to KVM_MAX_VCPU_IDS")
Feel free to resubmit if still applicable. Christsophe
--- I see that for ppc, QEMU uses the capability after enabling KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT, so we could change QEMU to issue the check extension on the vm fd so that it would get the more accurate value. --- arch/powerpc/kvm/powerpc.c | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kvm/powerpc.c b/arch/powerpc/kvm/powerpc.c index a2a68a958fa0..95c9f47cc1b3 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/kvm/powerpc.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/kvm/powerpc.c @@ -649,7 +649,10 @@ int kvm_vm_ioctl_check_extension(struct kvm *kvm, long ext) r = KVM_MAX_VCPUS; break; case KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID: - r = KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID; + if (hv_enabled && cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_ARCH_300)) + r = KVM_MAX_VCPUS * ((kvm) ? kvm->arch.emul_smt_mode : 1); + else + r = KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID; break; #ifdef CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64 case KVM_CAP_PPC_GET_SMMU_INFO:
