Re: [libvirt] [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] vl.c: Support multiple CPU ranges on -numa option

Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@redhat.com> writes:

This allows ":" to be used a separator between each CPU range, so the command-line may look like:

-numa node,cpus=A-B:C-D

Note that the following format, currently used by libvirt:

-numa nodes,cpus=A-B,C-D

will _not_ work, as "," is the option separator for the command-line option parser, and it would require changing the -numa option parsing code to handle "cpus" as a special case.

Signed-off-by: Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@redhat.com> --- Changes v2: - Use ":" as separator - Document the new format

See also discussion on multi-valued keys in command line option arguments and config files in v1 thread. Hopefully we can reach a conclusion soon, and then we'll see whether this patch is what we want.
