+Subject: KVM: selftests: Make sure kvm_create_max_vcpus test won't hit
+ RLIMIT_NOFILE
+
+From: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@redhat.com>
+
+[ Upstream commit 908fa88e420f30dde6d80f092795a18ec72ca6d3 ]
+
+With the elevated 'KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS' value kvm_create_max_vcpus test
+may hit RLIMIT_NOFILE limits:
+
+ # ./kvm_create_max_vcpus
+ KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID: 4096
+ KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS: 1024
+ Testing creating 1024 vCPUs, with IDs 0...1023.
+ /dev/kvm not available (errno: 24), skipping test
+
+Adjust RLIMIT_NOFILE limits to make sure KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS fds can be
+opened. Note, raising hard limit ('rlim_max') requires CAP_SYS_RESOURCE
+capability which is generally not needed to run kvm selftests (but without
+raising the limit the test is doomed to fail anyway).
