Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] util: Correct the NUMA node range checking

There are 2 issues here: First we shouldn't add "1" to the return value of numa_max_node(), since the semanteme of the error message

was changed, it's not saying about the number of total NUMA nodes anymore. Second, the value of "bit" is the position of the first bit which exceeds either numa_max_node() or NUMA_NUM_NODES, it can be any number in the range, so saying "bigger than $bit" is quite confused now. For example, assuming there is a NUMA machine which has 10 NUMA nodes, and one specifies the "nodeset" as "0,5,88", the error message will be like: Nodeset is out of range, host cannot support NUMA node bigger than 88 It sounds like all NUMA node number less than 88 is fine, but actually the maximum NUMA node number the machine supports is 9. This patch fixes the issues by removing the addition with "1" and simplifies the error message as "NUMA node $bit is out of range". --- src/util/virnuma.c | 8 ++------ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-)
