The loop which checks whether the vcpus are in proper configuration for the requested hot(un)plug skips the first modified vcpu. This means that 'firstvcpu' which is used to print the error message in case the configuration is not suitable would never point to the first modified vcpu. In cases such as: <vcpu placement='auto' current='5'>8</vcpu> <vcpus> <vcpu id='0' enabled='yes' hotpluggable='no'/> <vcpu id='1' enabled='yes' hotpluggable='no'/> <vcpu id='2' enabled='yes' hotpluggable='no'/> <vcpu id='3' enabled='yes' hotpluggable='no'/> <vcpu id='4' enabled='yes' hotpluggable='no'/> <vcpu id='5' enabled='no' hotpluggable='yes'/> <vcpu id='6' enabled='no' hotpluggable='yes'/> <vcpu id='7' enabled='no' hotpluggable='yes'/> </vcpus> # virsh setvcpu --config --disable upstream 1 error: invalid argument: vcpu '-1' can't be modified as it is followed by non-hotpluggable online vcpus After this fix the proper vcpu is reported in the error message: # virsh setvcpu --config --disable upstream 1 error: invalid argument: vcpu '1' can't be modified as it is followed by non-hotpluggable online vcpu https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1611061 Signed-off-by: Peter Krempa <pkrempa(a)redhat.com&gt; --- src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c | 10 ++++------ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c b/src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c index 47069be900..a76df64a7b 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c @@ -6478,18 +6478,16 @@ qemuDomainVcpuValidateConfig(virDomainDefPtr def, return -1; } + firstvcpu = virBitmapNextSetBit(map, -1); + /* non-hotpluggable vcpus need to stay clustered starting from vcpu 0 */ - for (next = virBitmapNextSetBit(map, -1) + 1; next < maxvcpus; next++) { + for (next = firstvcpu + 1; next < maxvcpus; next++) { if (!(vcpu = virDomainDefGetVcpu(def, next))) continue; /* skip vcpus being modified */ - if (virBitmapIsBitSet(map, next)) { - if (firstvcpu < 0) - firstvcpu = next; - + if (virBitmapIsBitSet(map, next)) continue; - } if (vcpu->online && vcpu->hotpluggable == VIR_TRISTATE_BOOL_NO) { virReportError(VIR_ERR_INVALID_ARG, -- 2.24.1
