Hi,
I set the information of cpu_weight/cpu_cap to configuration file or
sxp format, and execute "virsh start".
But the information of weight/cap is lost.
libvirt doesn't support cpu_weight and cpu_cap for XML format.
see also Bz#337591
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=337591
I make a patch to add weight/cap attributes as vcpus element
(eg. <vcpus weight='512' cap='280'>4</vcpus>)

Right. To me cpu_weight and cpu_cap are tuning informations
they are completely dependant:
- on the hypervisor used (only Xen)
- on a specific scheduler for said hypervisor
- on the runtime operations conditions, i.e. you may want to
revise those settings if you migrate the domain, or change
anything on the target host
So you are suggesting to add this to the XML, while for me this makes little
sense because of all this specificity.
I have no doubt the patch would 'work' for you, but anybody using a different
hypervisor, or different scheduler, or even someone trying to understand what
those fields are would have no use or informations (your patch does not provide
documentation for the meaning of those attributes).
I have a problem with extending the XML in a way which makes sense
only for one hypervisor, when using a specific scheduler, and without
a proper definition for what the extension actually means.
Also Those informations are highly runtime dependant, it's tuning,
it is not critical at all to get that tuning to get the domain up and
running, and once it is running you can actually use the libvirt API
to make the scheduler tuning.
Can you explain why you absolutely want to have that tuning information
in the XML itself ?

c.f. the thread at:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2007-October/msg00044.html
That thread was absolutely not discussing specific Xen scheduling parameters
it was discussing how to express the set of CPUs a domain should start on
and this information is not Xen specific in nature.

Yes, scheduler funtcion is xen specific. Other hypervisor(like qemu, kvm...)
hasn't scheduer function.
Threfore, extending weight/cap for the XML is meaningless for other hypervisor.
The libvirt scheduler API is xen specific, it is necessary to add for XML's
documentation that attributes weight/cap is effective only in xen.

In xentool case, weight/cap set by user to configuration file/sxp
is seting at starting the domain. The user may not do anything.
In libvirt case, the user should set weight/cap using libvirt api
after starting the domain.
I think that it is not convenient for the user.

There's certainly a general problem here: how do we persist information
like CPU pinning and scheduler information across domain shutdown to the
next time that the domain starts up. What is the current thinking about
setting CPU pinning info when a domain boots?

To me that's the same thing, CPU pinning and scheduler information are
basically tuning informations. Maybe this is static, maybe this needs to
change frequently, but we cannot assume the first case for the design.
What would make more sense to me is to be able to save and restore
tuning informations, per domain or for the full system at the virsh
level. For example something like:
virsh savetuning > tuning.data
or
virsh savetuning domain > tuning.data
and
virsh loadtuning tuning.data
This would still be convenient for the user, especially for locked systems
or systems where multiple different workload can be used depending on the
demand, one would just need to save tuning for each of them. Tuning could be
reloaded or readjusted ech time a domain is stopped/started or the whole node
is rebooted.
The implementation could be done entierely in libvirt without having
to change or extend existing APIs or behaviour.
I can understand the need to make it easy for an user, I still don't
think this means those tuning informations need to be associated to the
domain definition, to me it is somehow orthogonal to the domain themselves
and I would rather try to provide a good solution to the problem, than
try to imitate how Xen was doing that.

Surely, users who set tuning parameters view them as part of their
domain description. To me, having to keep track of yet another file to
have the complete description of a domain isn't very appealing. There's
plenty of people that only use one hypervisor, and for them, that
something only works on Xen or kvm is irrelevant.

I agree. It appears the discussions around recent Linux-VServer patches
includes tuning information in the XML description so I'm a little
confused if this idea is being received positively or not.
I would like to avoid calling out to some other API for scheduling
parameters at domU definition if at all possible. Perhaps I've been
away too long and this functionality already exists :-), but not seeing
it in http://www.libvirt.org/format.html

I am not a user, so my feelings here may be incorrect, but it seems it
might be unpleasant to have to modify 30 (for example) domain configs
when I'm trying to rework tuning information for a machine. I could
imagine a single config file that contains cpu_weight, cpu_cap, the
cpuset, and whatever other tuning information per domain might be
appropriate. Looking at a single file to tweak such values across
multiple domains might be preferable, and make the situation easier to
visualize.

How about this as a plan?
(1) Add 'virsh savetuning' and 'virsh loadtuning' commands as Daniel
Veillard has suggested above. These would save the per-domain tuning
information to an XML file
<tuning>
<pin vcpu="0" pcpu="0"/>
<pin vcpu="1" pcpu="1"/>
<!-- other stuff for cpu_weight, etc. -->
</tuning>
(2) Modify 'virsh define' and 'virsh create' commands to add a
'--with-tuning' flag, so that:
virsh define foo.xml --with-tuning foo-tuning.xml
Which basically does the ordinary 'virsh define' step followed by 'virsh
loadtuning'.
(3) Modify 'virsh save' to add '--save-tuning', so that:
virsh save foo foo.img --save-tuning foo-tuning.xml
This captures the tuning information into the XML file, and is the same
as doing an ordinary 'save' followed by 'virsh savetuning'.
- - -
This doesn't change the libvirt API, nor does it deal with saving and
restoring tuning information across restarts (but then I can't see how
the autostart flag works for Xen at the moment at all ... a bug?)
I'm prepared to do this work if people think it's a good idea.

yeah, I think it's reasonnable since it doesn't change the C api and
is clearly a virsh extension.
This doesn't change the libvirt API, nor does it deal with saving
and
restoring tuning information across restarts (but then I can't see how
the autostart flag works for Xen at the moment at all ... a bug?)
I'm prepared to do this work if people think it's a good idea.
Sounds fine to me, ideally make the virsh extension as a separate module
to allow easy copying in other user's applications. I had defined:
int
virDomainSaveTuningTo(xmlBufferPtr buf, virDomainPtr dom, int flags)
and
char *
virConnSaveTuning(virConnectPtr conn, int flags)
which would be fine as separate entry points if someone wanted to embbed
them. Of course this fode is 10x easier to write in Python or something else
dealing easilly with strings ...
