Command line equivalent for cpu pinning

Hello, on my Fedora 39 with libvirt 9.7.0-3.fc39 qemu-kvm 8.1.3-5.fc39 kernel 6.8.11-200.fc39.x86_64 I'm testing cpu pinning The hw is a Nuc with 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1360P If I pass from this in my guest xml: <vcpu placement='static'>4</vcpu> <cpu mode='host-passthrough' check='none' migratable='on'> <topology sockets='1' dies='1' cores='4' threads='1'/> </cpu> to this: <vcpu placement='static'>4</vcpu> <cputune> <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='0'/> <vcpupin vcpu='1' cpuset='2'/> <vcpupin vcpu='2' cpuset='4'/> <vcpupin vcpu='3' cpuset='6'/> </cputune> <cpu mode='host-passthrough' check='none' migratable='on'> <topology sockets='1' dies='1' cores='4' threads='1'/> </cpu> It seems to me that the generated command line of the qemu-system-x88_64 process doesn't change. As if the cputune options were not considered What should I see as different? Actually it seems it is indeed honored, because if I run stress-ng in the VM in the second scenario and top command in the host, I see only pcpu 0,2,4,6 going up with the load. Instead the first scenario keeps several different cpus alternating in the load. The real question could be: if I want to reproduce from the command line the cputune options, how can I do it? Is it only a cpuset wrapper used for the qemu-system-x86_64 process to place it in a cpuset control group? I see for the pid of the process $ sudo cat /proc/340215/cgroup 0::/machine.slice/machine-qemu\x2d8\x2dc7anstgt.scope/libvirt/emulator and $ sudo systemd-cgls /machine.slice CGroup /machine.slice: └─machine-qemu\x2d8\x2dc7anstgt.scope … └─libvirt ├─340215 /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64.... ├─vcpu1 ├─vcpu2 ├─vcpu0 ├─emulator └─vcpu3 What could be an easy command to replicate from the command line what virsh does? Thanks in advance Gianluca
