With the elevated 'KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS' value kvm_create_max_vcpus test may hit RLIMIT_NOFILE limits: # ./kvm_create_max_vcpus KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID: 4096 KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS: 1024 Testing creating 1024 vCPUs, with IDs 0...1023. /dev/kvm not available (errno: 24), skipping test Adjust RLIMIT_NOFILE limits to make sure KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS fds can be opened. Note, raising hard limit ('rlim_max') requires CAP_SYS_RESOURCE capability which is generally not needed to run kvm selftests (but without raising the limit the test is doomed to fail anyway).
