Subject: [PATCH v1 1/1] s390x/pv: Fix spurious warning with asynchronous teardown
Date: Tue,  9 May 2023 18:27:40 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230509162740.58081-1-imbrenda@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

When rebooting a small VM using asynchronous teardown, a spurious
warning is emitted when the KVM_PV_ASYNC_CLEANUP_PREPARE ioctl fails.

Avoid using asynchronous teardown altogether when the VM is small
enough; the cutoff is set at 4GiB. This will avoid triggering the
warning and also avoid pointless overhead; normal teardown is fast
enough for small VMs.

Reported-by: Marc Hartmayer <mhartmay@linux.ibm.com>
Fixes: c3a073c610 ("s390x/pv: Add support for asynchronous teardown for reboot")
