We are working on a fix. Can you give this testpatch a spin?

[Bug 1533646] Re: Could you set vm.allocate_pgste = 1 by default?

2016-01-21 Thread Christian Borntraeger
My modprobe.conf solution might not work in all cases, as the kvm module might 
be loaded on demand by a process accessing /dev/kvm. That process then already 
has 2k page tables.
 So I agree with Viktor: If we want to support KVM, maybe set  
vm.allocate_pgste = 1 unconditionally.

ok, kvm builtin certainly makes sense if you plan to use it regularly.
So in essence its a question about: do we expect a number of users to use KVM 
in Ubuntu or not?

[Bug 1533646] Re: Could you set vm.allocate_pgste = 1 by default?

2016-01-20 Thread Christian Borntraeger
the TCG emulation of QEMU does work without allocatr_pgste. 
vm.allocate_pgste=1 is necessary to use the KVM kernel module (which is used by 
qemu in kvm mode)

The main difference is that this uses 4k page tables instead of 2k page
tables on s390. So enabling pgstes will increase the page table
overhead. The difference is usually pretty small, but might become
noticeable when you have things like a big database with hundreds of
processes accessing a big area of shared memory.

Maybe something like
# cat /etc/modprobe.d/99-kvm.conf 
install kvm /sbin/sysctl vm.allocate_pgste=1; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install 
kvm
remove kvm /sbin/sysctl vm.allocate_pgste=0; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove 
kvm

would be good enough?
