/*
An L2 KVM guest fails to boot inside a pSeries LPAR when booted with a memory more than 128 GB and PCI device passthrough. The L2 guest also crashes when it is booted with a memory greater than 128 GB and a PCI device is hotplugged later. The issue arises from a conditional check for `levels > 1` in `spapr_tce_create_table()` within L1 KVM. This check is meant to prevent multi-level TCEs, which are not supported by the PowerVM hypervisor. As a result, when QEMU makes a `VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE_CREATE` ioctl call with `levels > 1`, it triggers the conditional check and returns `EINVAL`, causing the guest to crash with the following errors: 2025-03-04T06:36:36.133117Z qemu-system-ppc64: Failed to create a window, ret = -1 (Invalid argument) 2025-03-04T06:36:36.133176Z qemu-system-ppc64: Failed to create SPAPR window: Invalid argument qemu: hardware error: vfio: DMA mapping failed, unable to continue Fix this by checking the supported DDW "levels" returned by the VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE_GET_INFO ioctl before attempting the TCE create ioctl in KVM. The patch has been tested on KVM guests with memory configurations of up to 390GB, and 450GB on PowerVM and bare-metal environments respectively.
