Subject: [PATCH v3] KVM: x86: Add CONFIG_KVM_MAX_NR_VCPUS
Date: Thu, 24 Aug 2023 16:52:46 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230824215244.3897419-1-kyle.meyer@hpe.com> (raw)
Add a Kconfig entry to set the maximum number of vCPUs per KVM guest and
set the default value to 4096 when MAXSMP is enabled.
Suggested-by: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>
Signed-off-by: Kyle Meyer <kyle.meyer@hpe.com>

v2 -> v3: Default KVM_MAX_VCPUS to 1024 when CONFIG_KVM_MAX_NR_VCPUS is not
defined. This prevents build failures in arch/x86/events/intel/core.c and
drivers/vfio/vfio_main.c when KVM is disabled.
