Title:
Azure: Backport vIOMMU driver (increase vCPU limits)
Status in linux-azure package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in linux-azure source package in Cosmic:
New
Bug description:
Description:
To support VM instances with >255 vCPUS, we need the patch set below
backported to the Azure 4.18 kernel. These patches include -
- New Hyper-V IOMMU driver. This driver will be Hyper-V specific.
- Minor update to the Hyper-V specific virtual PCI code. Need to expand the
size of an array to allow for a larger number of vCPUs.
There are very large VM instance sizes coming to Azure in 2019, and
Ubuntu will require the following patches in order to function
properly:
