Description Yumei Huang 2015-12-17 09:56:38 UTC

Description of problem:
In qemu cmdline, when two nodes use same nodeid, qemu should report error and quit.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel: 2.6.32-593.el6.x86_64
qemu: qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.481.el6

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  start qemu process with two nodes using same nodeid:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name win10 -m 2G -smp 4 -numa node,nodeid=0 -numa node,nodeid=0 -monitor stdio

2.
3.

Actual results:
Qemu runs well, not report any error.

Expected results:
Qemu should report error, and quit. Just like rhel7.2:
qemu-kvm: -numa node,nodeid=0: Duplicate NUMA nodeid: 0

We won't backport command-line usability changes to RHEL6.
