    KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Allow creating max number of VCPUs on POWER9 · 1ebe6b81

    Commit 1e175d2e ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Pack VCORE IDs to access full
    VCPU ID space", 2018-07-25) allowed use of VCPU IDs up to
    KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID on POWER9 in all guest SMT modes and guest emulated
    hardware SMT modes.  However, with the current definition of
    KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID, a guest SMT mode of 1 and an emulated SMT mode of 8,
    it is only possible to create KVM_MAX_VCPUS / 2 VCPUS, because
    threads_per_subcore is 4 on POWER9 CPUs.  (Using an emulated SMT mode
    of 8 is useful when migrating VMs to or from POWER8 hosts.)
    
    This increases KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID to 8 * KVM_MAX_VCPUS when HV KVM is
    configured in, so that a full complement of KVM_MAX_VCPUS VCPUs can
    be created on POWER9 in all guest SMT modes and emulated hardware
    SMT modes.
