    KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Allow KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl() to change HPT size · f98a8bf9
    David Gibson authored
    The KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl() is used to set the size of hashed page
    table (HPT) that userspace expects a guest VM to have, and is also used to
    clear that HPT when necessary (e.g. guest reboot).
    
    At present, once the ioctl() is called for the first time, the HPT size can
    never be changed thereafter - it will be cleared but always sized as from
    the first call.
    
    With upcoming HPT resize implementation, we're going to need to allow
    userspace to resize the HPT at reset (to change it back to the default size
    if the guest changed it).
    
    So, we need to allow this ioctl() to change the HPT size.
    
    This patch also updates Documentation/virtual/kvm/api.txt to reflect
    the new behaviour.  In fact the documentation was already slightly
    incorrect since 572abd56 "KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Don't fall back to
    smaller HPT size in allocation ioctl"
