Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 0/7] Add more options for IOThreads

The following patches will add more support for IOThreads not completed from the initial patches. These changes support the remaining elements of bz https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1101574 (working through unsetting the private bits - as there's nothing in there that should necessarily be private). Changes: 1. Add "--iothread" option to virsh attach-disk to allow using a specific iothread when attaching a disk 2. Add the ability to set CPU affinity for an IOThread. This involves multiple steps (patches 2-6) of adding the infrastructure to support setting scheduler affinity for the IOThread including cgroup setup. For the most part it's a "copy" of the vCPU pinning code, but without the external interfaces - those will come at a later time after RHEL7.1. 3. Add to <cpuset/> a new element <iothreadpin iothread='#" cpuset="string"/> NOTE: I can combine any/all of patches 2-6 - I just kept them separate so it wasn't a larger single patch.
