|
|
|
|
This is the downstream change equivalent of the upstream QEMU commit
|
|
e4e98c7e ("pc: q35: Bump max_cpus to 4096 vcpus")
|
|
|
|
Since upstream Linux kernel commit
|
|
f10a570b093e6 ("KVM: x86: Add CONFIG_KVM_MAX_NR_VCPUS to allow up to 4096 vCPUs")
|
|
Linux kernel can support upto a maximum number of 4096 vcpus when MAXSMP is
|
|
enabled in the kernel. This upstream change has been backported to c9s kernel
|
|
already. Please see JIRA https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-11579 and the
|
|
following commit authored by Vitaly Kuznetsov:
|
|
a85f846be686b0a ("KVM: x86: Add CONFIG_KVM_MAX_NR_VCPUS to allow up to 4096 vCPUs")
|
|
|
|
At present, QEMU has been tested to correctly boot a linux guest with 4096
|
|
vcpus using edk2 that has the fixes corresponding to the following two upstream
|
|
edk2 PRs:
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/pull/5410
|
|
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/pull/5418
|
|
|
|
The changes corresponding to the above two upstream edk2 PRs has been included
|
|
in the downstream c9s edk2 with the following MR:
|
|
https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/src/edk2/-/merge_requests/59
|
|
|
|
So bump up the value max_cpus to 4096 for RHEL q35 machines versions 9.6 and
|
|
newer. Q35 RHEL machines versions 9.4 and older continue to support 710 maximum
|
|
vcpus as before for compatibility reasons.
