[PATCH 1/2] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Allow creating max number of VCPUs on POWER9

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

 



Commit 1e175d2 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Pack VCORE IDs to access full
VCPU ID space", 2018-07-25) allowed use of VCPU IDs up to
KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID on POWER9 in all guest SMT modes and guest emulated
hardware SMT modes.  However, with the current definition of
KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID, a guest SMT mode of 1 and an emulated SMT mode of 8,
it is only possible to create KVM_MAX_VCPUS / 2 VCPUS, because
threads_per_subcore is 4 on POWER9 CPUs.  (Using an emulated SMT mode
of 8 is useful when migrating VMs to or from POWER8 hosts.)

This increases KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID to 8 * KVM_MAX_VCPUS when HV KVM is
configured in, so that a full complement of KVM_MAX_VCPUS VCPUs can
be created on POWER9 in all guest SMT modes and emulated hardware
SMT modes.

This and the next patch apply on my kvm-ppc-next branch, which
includes Sam Bobroff's patch "KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Pack VCORE IDs to
access full VCPU ID space".
