Subject[PATCH 5/9] KVM: VMX: clamp PLE window
Date
Modifications could get unwanted values of PLE window. (low or negative)
Use ple_window and the maximal value that cannot overflow as bounds.

ple_window_max defaults to a very high value, but it would make sense to
set it to some fraction of the scheduler tick.
