[PATCH V3 0/4] KVM: arm64: Increase number of user memslots

[linucherian at gmail.com]

From: Linu Cherian <linu.cherian@cavium.com>


v2 -> v3:
- Added documentation for KVM_CAP_NR_MEMSLOTS
- Removed KVM_PRIVATE_MEM_SLOTS which is unused
- KVM_USER_MEM_SLOTS changed to 512 from 508
 
v1 -> v2:
- Enabling KVM_CAP_NR_MEMSLOTS for arm/arm64 moved to separate patch.
- Updated commit message so that what is reported to userspace is explicit.



Linu Cherian (4):
  KVM: Add documentation for KVM_CAP_NR_MEMSLOTS
  KVM: arm/arm64: Enable KVM_CAP_NR_MEMSLOTS on arm/arm64
  KVM: arm/arm64: Remove KVM_PRIVATE_MEM_SLOTS definition that are

Please add a patch description, even if it just repeats the subject line
as in this case.

Otherwise:

Please add a decent commit message. Even if this is an obvious patch,
explain the rational behind it. Patch 1 has the same problem.

Thanks,

[PATCH V3 4/4] KVM: arm64: Increase number of user memslots to 512

[linucherian at gmail.com]

From: Linu Cherian <linu.cherian@cavium.com>

Having only 32 memslots is a real constraint for the maximum
number of PCI devices that can be assigned to a single guest.
Assuming each PCI device/virtual function having two memory BAR
regions, we could assign only 15 devices/virtual functions to a
guest.

Hence increase KVM_USER_MEM_SLOTS to 512 as done in other archs like
powerpc.
