Hi Jan,
It seems we need to reserve the limitation in kvm_host.h
#define NR_IOBUS_DEVS 600
/* Currently Qemu only emulates one PCI bus, it contains 32 slots,
one slot contains 8 functions. Only 29 slots can be used to
add multiple function devices. Maximum of supported PCI devices:
29 * 8 = 232. Each virtio-blk device needs 1 iobus device,
each virtio-net(vhost) device requires 2 such devices to service
notifications (ioevent) from rx/tx queues.
The maximum of coalesced mmio zone is 100, each zone has an iobus
devices. ioevent, pit, ioapic take less iobus devices.
So we can set max limitation to 600. */
----- check limit when register dev ----
virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:
/* Caller must hold slots_lock. */
int kvm_io_bus_register_dev(struct kvm *kvm, enum kvm_bus bus_idx, gpa_t addr,
int len, struct kvm_io_device *dev)
{
struct kvm_io_bus *new_bus, *bus;
bus = kvm->buses[bus_idx];
if (bus->dev_count > NR_IOBUS_DEVS - 1) // can only register 600
devices
return -ENOSPC;
Amos.
