[PATCH v2] pc: q35: Bump max_cpus to 1024


From: Suravee Suthikulpanit
Subject: [PATCH v2] pc: q35: Bump max_cpus to 1024
Date: Wed, 31 May 2023 17:51:27 -0500

Since KVM_MAX_VCPUS is currently defined to 1024 for x86 as shown in
arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_host.h, update QEMU limits to the same number.

In case KVM could not support the specified number of vcpus, QEMU would
return the following error message:

  qemu-system-x86_64: kvm_init_vcpu: kvm_get_vcpu failed (xxx): Invalid argument

Changes from V1:
(https://lore.kernel.org/all/YnkDGsIi1vFvXmiP@redhat.com/T/)
 * Bump from 512 to KVM_MAX_VCPUS (per Igor's suggestion)

Note:
 From the last discussion, Daniel mentioned that SMBIO 2.1 tables might
 cause overflow at approx 720 CPUs, and it might require using the
 SMBIO 3.0 entry point. Also, we might need to change the default for
 the x86 machine type to SMBIO 3.0. However, I do not know the status
 of this.

Thank you,
Suravee
