Subject: [GIT PULL 1/1] KVM: s390: reduce number of IO pins to 1
Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2020 11:23:41 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200623092341.10348-2-frankja@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200623092341.10348-1-frankja@linux.ibm.com>

From: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com>

The current number of KVM_IRQCHIP_NUM_PINS results in an order 3
allocation (32kb) for each guest start/restart. This can result in OOM
killer activity even with free swap when the memory is fragmented
enough:

As far as I can tell s390x does not use the iopins as we bail our for
anything other than KVM_IRQ_ROUTING_S390_ADAPTER and the chip/pin is
only used for KVM_IRQ_ROUTING_IRQCHIP. So let us use a small number to
reduce the memory footprint.
