[PATCH v2 0/6] KVM: Cap KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS by KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS and re-purpose it on x86

[Vitaly Kuznetsov]

Changes since v1:
- PATCH6 for s390 added.
- On ARM64, do not make KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS return value dependent on whether
  it is a system-wide ioctl or a per-VM one [Marc Zyngier].

Original description:

This is a continuation of "KVM: x86: Drop arbitraty KVM_SOFT_MAX_VCPUS"

work.

1) Enforce KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS <= KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS rule on all 
 architectures. [Sean Christopherson]
2) Make KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS return num_online_cpus() and not an arbitrary
 value of '710' on x86.

Everything but x86 was only 'eyeball tested', the change is trivial
but sorry in advance if I screwed up)

[PATCH v2 1/6] KVM: arm64: Cap KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS by kvm_arm_default_max_vcpus()

[Vitaly Kuznetsov]

Generally, it doesn't make sense to return the recommended maximum number
of vCPUs which exceeds the maximum possible number of vCPUs.

Note: ARM64 is special as the value returned by KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS differs
depending on whether it is a system-wide ioctl or a per-VM one. Previously,
KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS didn't have this difference and it seems preferable to
keep the status quo. Cap KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS by kvm_arm_default_max_vcpus()
which is what gets returned by system-wide KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS.

[PATCH v2 4/6] KVM: RISC-V: Cap KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS by KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS

[Vitaly Kuznetsov]

It doesn't make sense to return the recommended maximum number of
vCPUs which exceeds the maximum possible number of vCPUs.

[PATCH v2 5/6] KVM: s390: Cap KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS by num_online_cpus()

[Vitaly Kuznetsov]

KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS is a legacy advisory value which on other architectures
return num_online_cpus() caped by KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS or something else
(ppc and arm64 are special cases). On s390, KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS returns
the same as KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS and this may turn out to be a bad
'advice'. Switch s390 to returning caped num_online_cpus() too.

[PATCH v2 6/6] KVM: x86: Drop arbitraty KVM_SOFT_MAX_VCPUS

[Vitaly Kuznetsov]

KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS is used to get the "recommended" maximum number of
VCPUs and arm64/mips/riscv report num_online_cpus(). Powerpc reports
either num_online_cpus() or num_present_cpus(), s390 has multiple
constants depending on hardware features. On x86, KVM reports an
arbitrary value of '710' which is supposed to be the maximum tested
value but it's possible to test all KVM_MAX_VCPUS even when there are
less physical CPUs available.

Drop the arbitrary '710' value and return num_online_cpus() on x86 as
well. The recommendation will match other architectures and will mean
'no CPU overcommit'.

For reference, QEMU only queries KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS to print a warning
when the requested vCPU number exceeds it. The static limit of '710'
is quite weird as smaller systems with just a few physical CPUs should
certainly "recommend" less.

[PATCH v2 6/6] KVM: x86: Drop arbitraty KVM_SOFT_MAX_VCPUS

[Vitaly Kuznetsov]

KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS is used to get the "recommended" maximum number of
VCPUs and arm64/mips/riscv report num_online_cpus(). Powerpc reports
either num_online_cpus() or num_present_cpus(), s390 has multiple
constants depending on hardware features. On x86, KVM reports an
arbitrary value of '710' which is supposed to be the maximum tested
value but it's possible to test all KVM_MAX_VCPUS even when there are
less physical CPUs available.

Drop the arbitrary '710' value and return num_online_cpus() on x86 as
well. The recommendation will match other architectures and will mean
'no CPU overcommit'.

For reference, QEMU only queries KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS to print a warning
when the requested vCPU number exceeds it. The static limit of '710'
is quite weird as smaller systems with just a few physical CPUs should
certainly "recommend" less.

Given that KVM_SOFT_MAX_VCPUS has already been dropped in 5.16, I 
changed the commit message to

     KVM: x86: Cap KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS by KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS

     It doesn't make sense to return the recommended maximum number of
     vCPUs which exceeds the maximum possible number of vCPUs.
