At present if we require a vsmt mode that's not equal to the kernel's
|
|
|
4a2fec |
default, and the kernel doesn't let us change it (e.g. because it's an old
|
|
|
4a2fec |
kernel without support) then we always fail.
|
|
|
4a2fec |
|
|
|
4a2fec |
But in fact we can cope with the kernel having a different vsmt as long as
|
|
|
4a2fec |
a) it's >= the actual number of vthreads/vcore (so that guest threads
|
|
|
4a2fec |
that are supposed to be on the same core act like it)
|
|
|
4a2fec |
b) it's a submultiple of the requested vsmt mode (so that guest threads
|
|
|
4a2fec |
spaced by the vsmt value will act like they're on different cores)
|
|
|
4a2fec |
|
|
|
4a2fec |
Allowing this case gives us a bit more freedom to adjust the vsmt behaviour
|
|
|
4a2fec |
without breaking existing cases.
