You don't need to pass the whole structure of all the data. Can't the

qemu function just do something like:

virResctrlLock()

foreach cachetune:

region = virResctrlGetFreeRegion(size, type)

foreach cachetune.vcpu:

virResctrlSetRegion(vcpu.pid, region)

Or like with some other tuning, you can have a function that determines

the region when given vcpu and just call it for all vcpus. You can

save the regions in the status XML, so that not only users can see it,

but you can also reference them from that aforementioned function. Or

you could have saved pairs of id: region, but I think that's not needed.

That reminds me, unless referred to from somewhere, the cachetune

doesn't even need the id.

But basically, you don't need to pass the whole cachetune or any other

structure. The code is very messy, check your pointers and don't

compare references to NULLs. Read the diffs after yourself. I know it

works for you, but the code needs to be readable as well.
