Fixed in: https://gitlab.com/redhat/rhel/src/qemu-kvm/qemu-kvm/-/merge_requests/85 (on top of rc3 rebase) (In reply to Dr. David Alan Gilbert from comment #1) > Fixed in: > https://gitlab.com/redhat/rhel/src/qemu-kvm/qemu-kvm/-/merge_requests/85 > (on top of rc3 rebase) Hi， Could you help to share if there will be different behaviour inside guests with different machine types? I get the same result with 'q35' and 'pc' machine type with qemu-kvm-6.2.0-1.rc2.scrmod+el8.6.0+13458+219ac088.wrb211124. 1. Boot guest with '-smp 8' 2. check CPU topology inside the guest. # lscpu Core(s) per socket: 8 Socket(s): 1 Thanks.

Thanks. Best regards Liu Nana QE bot(pre verify): Set 'Verified:Tested,SanityOnly' as gating/tier1 test pass. Test Env:
5.14.0-39.el9.x86_64+debug
qemu-kvm-6.2.0-4.el9.x86_64
amd-milan-11.khw1.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com
Guest: 5.14.0-44.el9.x86_64
Test steps:
1. Boot guest with '-smp 8'
2. lscpu inside guest.
# lscpu
BIOS Model name: RHEL-8.5.0 PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009)
CPU family: 25
Model: 1
Thread(s) per core: 1
Core(s) per socket: 1
Socket(s): 8
3. check 'pc' machine type, get the same results:
# lscpu
BIOS Model name: RHEL 7.6.0 PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996)
CPU family: 25
Model: 1
Thread(s) per core: 1
Core(s) per socket: 1
Socket(s): 8
Please help to check this, if no more comments I will move this bug to VERIFIED, thanks.

Yes, that's right - you see the 'smp 8' has turned into 8 sockets x 1 core. I think if you try it with the 8.6.0 or 9.0.0 q35 machine type you'll see probably 1 socket, 8 cores.

Yes, I can see the difference with 9.0.0 q35 machine type with qemu-kvm-6.2.0-5.el9.x86_64.

Description of problem: cohuck spotted that I'd missed the prefer_sockets line in the machine option compatibility for the x86 machine types; it looks like th_huth nailed it for s390. (We'll also need this on 8.6, so probably need it for Power and hmm aarch?) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.2 rebase How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. start a guest with -smp 8 2. lscpu Actual results: Core(s) per socket: 8 Socket(s): 1 Expected results: Core(s) per socket: 1 Socket(s): 8 Additional info:
