Subject: [PATCH 0/4] KVM: add KVM_CREATE_VM2 to allow dynamic kvm->vcpus array
Date: Thu, 13 Apr 2017 22:19:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170413201951.11939-1-rkrcmar@redhat.com> (raw)
The basic idea is to let userspace provide the desired maximal number of
VCPUs and allocate only necessary memory for them.
The goal is to freeze KVM_MAX_VCPUS at its current level and only increase the
new KVM_MAX_CONFIGURABLE_VCPUS, probably directly to INT_MAX/KVM_VCPU_ID, so we
don't have to worry about it for a while.
PPC should be interested in this as they set KVM_MAX_VCPUS to NR_CPUS
and probably waste few pages for every guest this way.
Radim Krčmář (4):
KVM: remove unused __KVM_HAVE_ARCH_VM_ALLOC
KVM: allocate kvm->vcpus separately
KVM: add KVM_CREATE_VM2 system ioctl
KVM: x86: enable configurable MAX_VCPU
