[RFC v3 04/10] KVM: PPC: selftests: powerpc enable kvm_create_max_vcpus test

From: "Ritesh Harjani (IBM)" <ritesh.list@gmail.com>
Date: 2026-05-27 12:50:32
Also in: kvm, lkml
Subsystem: kernel selftest framework, kernel virtual machine (kvm), the rest · Maintainers: Shuah Khan, Paolo Bonzini, Linus Torvalds

From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>

powerpc's maximum permitted vCPU ID depends on the VM's SMT mode, and
the maximum reported by KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID exceeds a simple non-SMT
VM's limit.

The powerpc KVM selftest port uses non-SMT VMs, so add a workaround
to the kvm_create_max_vcpus test case to limit vCPU IDs to
KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS on powerpc.
