Upstream Status: RHEL-only
586cba
Tested: with upstream kernel
586cba
586cba
Downstream QEMU carries a patch that sets the hard limit of possible vCPUs
586cba
to the value that the KVM code of the kernel recommends as soft limit.
586cba
Upstream KVM code has been changed recently to not use an arbitrary soft
586cba
limit anymore, but to cap the value on the amount of available physical
586cba
CPUs of the host. This defeats the purpose of the downstream change in
586cba
QEMU completely. Drop the downstream-only patch to allow CPU overcommit.
586cba
586cba
This reverts commit 6669f6fa677d43144f39d6ad59725b7ba622f1c2.
