Subject: [PATCH] KVM: s390: reduce number of IO pins to 1
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2020 10:36:20 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200617083620.5409-1-borntraeger@de.ibm.com> (raw)

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.
