Subject: [PATCH v5 6/9] KVM: selftests: Limit the number of VM creates in hardware_disable_test
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 23:58:50 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <db32438dee67a69609e75d8c43cb070f021137b1.1790101179.git.ritesh.list@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1790101179.git.ritesh.list@gmail.com>

hardware_disable_test forks several VMs (NR_IERATIONS=512). This patch
limits that number to 4 when we know that we are running in constraint
host environment. The number 4 is just a safe minimum when
kvm_arch_vm_create_may_enomem() can be true.
