[PATCH v6 8/9] KVM: x86: Allow userspace set maximum VCPU id for VM

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

 



Introduce new max_vcpu_id in KVM for x86 architecture. Userspace
can assign maximum possible vcpu id for current VM session using
KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID of KVM_ENABLE_CAP ioctl().

This is done for x86 only because the sole use case is to guide
memory allocation for PID-pointer table, a structure needed to
enable VMX IPI.

By default, max_vcpu_id set as KVM_MAX_VCPU_IDS.

No new KVM capability is added to advertise the support of
configurable maximum vCPU ID to user space because max_vcpu_id is
just a hint/commitment to allow KVM to reduce the size of PID-pointer
table. But I am not 100% sure if it is proper to do so.
