Re: [PATCH] qemu: Recreate NUMA caps when creating connect capabilities

In v6.0.0-rc1~439 (and friends) we tried to cache NUMA capabilities because we assumed they are immutable. And to some extent they are (NUMA hotplug is not a thing, is it). However, our capabilities contain also some runtime info that can change, e.g. hugepages pool allocation sizes or total amount of memory per node (host side memory hotplug might change the value). When rebuilding virCaps (e.g. for 'virsh capabilities') we have to dropped the cached info and rebuild it from scratch so that the correct runtime info is reported. Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1819058 Fixes: 1a1d848694f6c2f1d98a371124928375bc3bb4a3 Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn(a)redhat.com&gt; --- After this, we are still caching CPU caps, but I'm not sure if that is a problem. Perhaps if CPU was hotplugged/unplugged?
