本文探讨了KVM在内核空间如何响应ioctl系统调用来确定最大vCPU分配，详细介绍了从kvm_dev_ioctl到kvm_dev_ioctl_check_extension的调用流程，并指出了相关宏的定义位置，以及KVM字符设备操作的注册过程。

摘要由CSDN通过智能技术生成

From https://kernel.org/doc/Documentation/virtual/kvm/api.txt we can see,

"The maximum possible value for max_vcpus can be retrieved using the
KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS of the KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION ioctl() at run-time.

If the KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS does not exist, you should assume that max_vcpus is 4
cpus max.
If the KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS does not exist, you should assume that max_vcpus is
same as the value returned from KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS."

The following c program is written according to the documentation above to retrieve KVM max vcpu directly from KVM and should give the same result as virsh maxvcpus kvm does. When given a arg "Recommended", it returns the recommended max vcpus.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <linux/kvm.h>

static int kvmMaxVCPUs(int type) {
int maxvcpus
