I don't think we should be creating a new<numatune> element here since it is not actually covering all aspects of NUMA tuning. We already have CPU NUMA pinning in the separate<vcpu> element. NUMA memory pinning should likely be either in the<memtune> or<memoryBacking> elements, probably the latter.
Agree that it doesn't cover all aspects of NUMA tuning, actually we also have <vcpupin>, the reason I did't put it into <memtune> is that I'm not sure if we will also support other tuning stuffs.
Also, it is not very nice to use a different syntax for negation for the VCPU specification, vs memory node specification "^3" vs "!3"
NUMA tuning use different syntax, actually also has "+", which is not used by VCPU specification, so IMHO once we have to accept "+", "!" should be accepted too, or we can do a converstion, from "^" to "!"?
Looking to the future, we may want to consider how we'd allow host NUMA mapping on a fine grained basis, per guest NUMA node. eg It is possible with QEMU to actually define a guest visible NUMA topology for the virtual CPUs and memory using
-numa node[,mem=size][,cpus=cpu[-cpu]][,nodeid=node]
We don't support that yet, which is something we ought to do. At which point you probably also want to be ale to map guest NUMA nodes to host NUMA nodes.
As far as I understand this, doesn't we need a standalone <numatune> for things like this? Thanks Osier
