The current number of KVM_IRQCHIP_NUM_PINS results in an order 3 allocation (32kb) for each guest start/restart. This can result in OOM killer activity even with free swap when the memory is fragmented enough: kernel: qemu-system-s39 invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x440dc0(GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT|__GFP_COMP|__GFP_ZERO), order=3, oom_score_adj=0 kernel: CPU: 1 PID: 357274 Comm: qemu-system-s39 Kdump: loaded Not tainted 5.4.0-29-generic #33-Ubuntu kernel: Hardware name: IBM 8562 T02 Z06 (LPAR) kernel: Call Trace: kernel: ([<00000001f848fe2a>] show_stack+0x7a/0xc0) kernel: [<00000001f8d3437a>] dump_stack+0x8a/0xc0 kernel: [<00000001f8687032>] dump_header+0x62/0x258 kernel: [<00000001f8686122>] oom_kill_process+0x172/0x180 kernel: [<00000001f8686abe>] out_of_memory+0xee/0x580 kernel: [<00000001f86e66b8>] __alloc_pages_slowpath+0xd18/0xe90 kernel: [<00000001f86e6ad4>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x2a4/0x320 kernel: [<00000001f86b1ab4>] kmalloc_order+0x34/0xb0 kernel: [<00000001f86b1b62>] kmalloc_order_trace+0x32/0xe0 kernel: [<00000001f84bb806>] kvm_set_irq_routing+0xa6/0x2e0 kernel: [<00000001f84c99a4>] kvm_arch_vm_ioctl+0x544/0x9e0 kernel: [<00000001f84b8936>] kvm_vm_ioctl+0x396/0x760 kernel: [<00000001f875df66>] do_vfs_ioctl+0x376/0x690 kernel: [<00000001f875e304>] ksys_ioctl+0x84/0xb0 kernel: [<00000001f875e39a>] __s390x_sys_ioctl+0x2a/0x40 kernel: [<00000001f8d55424>] system_call+0xd8/0x2c8 As far as I can tell s390x does not use the iopins as we bail our for anything other than KVM_IRQ_ROUTING_S390_ADAPTER and the chip/pin is only used for KVM_IRQ_ROUTING_IRQCHIP. So let us use a small number to reduce the memory footprint.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
