[libvirt] [PATCH 0/2] rework the check for the numa cpus

We introduce a check for numa cpu total count in 5f7b71, But seems this check cannot work well. There are some scenarioes: 1. one of cpu id is out of maxvcpus, can set success(cpu count = 5 < 10): <vcpu placement='static'>10</vcpu> <cell id='0' cpus='0-3,100' memory='512000' unit='KiB'/> the cpus '100' exceed maxvcpus, this setting is not valid (although qemu do not output error). 2. use the same cpu in 2 cell, can set success(cpu count = 8 < 10): <vcpu placement='static'>10</vcpu> <cell id='0' cpus='0-3' memory='512000' unit='KiB'/> <cell id='1' cpus='0-3' memory='512000' unit='KiB'/> I guess nobody will use this setting if he really want use numa in his vm. (qemu not output error, but we can find some interesting things in vm, all cpus have bind in one numa node) 3. use the same cpu in 2 cell, cannot set success(cpu count = 11 > 10): <vcpu placement='static'>10</vcpu> <cell id='0' cpus='0-6' memory='512000' unit='KiB'/> <cell id='1' cpus='0-3' memory='512000' unit='KiB'/> No need forbid this scenario if scenario 2 is a 'valid' setting. However add new check during parse xml will make vm has broken settings disappear after update libvirtd, so possible solutions: 1. add new check when parse xml, and find a way to avoid vm evaporate. I chose this way and i don't think just drop the invalid settings is a good idea for numa cpus, so i add a new function. 2. add new check when start vm. I think this is a configuration issue, so no need report it so late. 3. just remove this check and do not add new check... :) Luyao Huang (2): conf: introduce a new function to add check avoid losing track conf: rework the cpu check for vm numa settings src/bhyve/bhyve_driver.c | 4 ++-- src/conf/domain_conf.c | 21 ++++++++++++++------- src/conf/domain_conf.h | 1 + src/conf/numa_conf.c | 37 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- src/conf/numa_conf.h | 2 +- src/esx/esx_driver.c | 2 +- src/libxl/libxl_driver.c | 4 ++-- src/lxc/lxc_driver.c | 4 ++-- src/openvz/openvz_driver.c | 4 ++-- src/parallels/parallels_driver.c | 2 +- src/phyp/phyp_driver.c | 2 +- src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 4 ++-- src/test/test_driver.c | 4 ++-- src/uml/uml_driver.c | 4 ++-- src/vbox/vbox_common.c | 2 +- src/vmware/vmware_driver.c | 4 ++-- src/xen/xen_driver.c | 4 ++-- src/xenapi/xenapi_driver.c | 4 ++-- 18 files changed, 70 insertions(+), 39 deletions(-) -- 1.8.3.1
