[PATCH 2/2] KVM: X86: Dynamically allocate user_fpu

From: Wanpeng Li
Date: Mon Jul 22 2019 - 00:26:48 EST


From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@xxxxxxxxxxx>

After reverting commit 240c35a3783a (kvm: x86: Use task structs fpu field
for user), struct kvm_vcpu is 19456 bytes on my server, PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER(3)
is the order at which allocations are deemed costly to service. In serveless
scenario, one host can service hundreds/thoudands firecracker/kata-container
instances, howerver, new instance will fail to launch after memory is too
fragmented to allocate kvm_vcpu struct on host, this was observed in some
cloud provider product environments.

This patch dynamically allocates user_fpu, kvm_vcpu is 15168 bytes now on my
Skylake server.
