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.
Yeah, let's drop this patch by now. I am starting to be convinced that "cpus=A,cpus=B,cpus=C" is the best approach. It is not pretty, but at least it uses generic parser code instead of yet another ad-hoc parser. -- Eduardo
