Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] Extend l3 cache to nodeinfo
Hi Daniel,
I agree that to expose othe level cache but the only can be tuned (allocation). If we
expose such kinds of information, the host should have ability to control such kinds of
resources.
In another thread, Martin told that there are cases which multiple sockets may has
different values, I kinds of agree(but I don’t see that case), I agree to expose cache per
socket, just wonder if
cell == socket in libvirt? In my environment, I can see all socket_id in a cell are the
same, wonder if I can extend cache information to cell node?
Best Regards

L3 cache and ignore other levels of cache.
Okay, I’ll think how to expose there into capabilities. This is related to enable
cache tune support in [1]
The status in kernel is that only L3 cache can be tuned(by cat_l3 support in kernel)
for now.
Could you help to give some input for the RFC of cache tune?
