Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/2] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Provide a more accurate MAX_VCPU_ID in P9
Date: Mon, 12 Apr 2021 19:26:56 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210412222656.3466987-3-farosas@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210412222656.3466987-1-farosas@linux.ibm.com>

The KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID capability was added by commit 0b1b1dfd52a6
("kvm: introduce KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID") to allow for vcpu ids larger than
KVM_MAX_VCPU in powerpc.

For a P9 host we depend on the guest VSMT value to know what is the
maximum number of vcpu id we can support:

kvmppc_core_vcpu_create_hv:
    (...)
    if (cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_ARCH_300)) {
-->         if (id >= (KVM_MAX_VCPUS * kvm->arch.emul_smt_mode)) {
                    pr_devel("KVM: VCPU ID too high\n");
                    core = KVM_MAX_VCORES;
            } else {
                    BUG_ON(kvm->arch.smt_mode != 1);
                    core = kvmppc_pack_vcpu_id(kvm, id);
            }
    } else {
            core = id / kvm->arch.smt_mode;
    }

which means that the value being returned by the capability today for
a given guest is potentially way larger than what we actually support:

\#define KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID (MAX_SMT_THREADS * KVM_MAX_VCORES)

If the capability is queried before userspace enables the
KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT ioctl there is not much we can do, but if the emulated
smt mode is already known we could provide a more accurate value.

The only practical effect of this change today is to make the
kvm_create_max_vcpus test pass for powerpc. The QEMU spapr machine has
a lower max vcpu than what KVM allows so even KVM_MAX_VCPU is not
reached.

I see that for ppc, QEMU uses the capability after enabling
KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT, so we could change QEMU to issue the check extension
on the vm fd so that it would get the more accurate value.
