[PATCH] KVM: x86: Increase KVM_MAX_VCPUS to 4096
From: Kyle Meyer
Date: Tue Aug 15 2023 - 11:39:52 EST
Increase KVM_MAX_VCPUS to 4096 when MAXSMP is enabled.
Notable changes (when MAXSMP is enabled):
* KMV_MAX_VCPUS will increase from 1024 to 4096.
* KVM_MAX_VCPU_IDS will increase from 4096 to 16384.
* KVM_HV_MAX_SPARSE_VCPU_SET_BITS will increase from 16 to 64.
* CPUID[HYPERV_CPUID_IMPLEMENT_LIMITS (0x40000005)].EAX will now be 4096.
* struct kvm will increase from 39408 B to 39792 B.
* struct kvm_ioapic will increase from 5240 B to 19064 B.
* The following (on-stack) bitmaps will increase from 128 B to 512 B:
* dest_vcpu_bitmap in kvm_irq_delivery_to_apic.
* vcpu_mask in kvm_hv_flush_tlb.
* vcpu_bitmap in ioapic_write_indirect.
* vp_bitmap in sparse_set_to_vcpu_mask.

Virtual machines with 4096 virtual CPUs have been created on 32 socket
Cascade Lake and Sapphire Rapids systems.
4096 is the current maximum value because of the Hyper-V TLFS. See
BUILD_BUG_ON in arch/x86/kvm/hyperv.c, commit 79661c3, and Vitaly's
comment on https://lore.kernel.org/all/87r136shcc.fsf@xxxxxxxxxx.
