RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2015:0624 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Important: qemu-kvm-rhev security, bug fix, and enhancement update 2015-03-05 14:37:36 UTC

Description Igor Mammedov 2013-12-09 21:50:21 UTC 
CPU hot-add was implemented for piix based machines and Q35 based machines still miss it. It's needed to factor out common ACPI bits of CPU hot-plug code and reuse it for Q35 as well.

Patch to factor out need generic ACPI bits was posted as part of memory hotplug series http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2013-11/msg02526.html
Once it is committed, I can post CPU specific patch to add feature to Q35.
Comment 3 Igor Mammedov 2014-02-05 13:26:16 UTC 
QE,
Please retest when RHEL7.1 is ready.

Update the component to qemu-kvm-rhev since this bz is fixed in qemu2.0, fix me if there is wrong.

Best Regards,

Verify this bug with qemu-kvm-1.5.3-53.el7.x86_64 and qemu-kvm-1.5.3-66.el7.x86_64 and qemu-kvm-rhev-2.1.0-3.el7ev.preview.x86_64

For RHEL7.0 guest with qemu-kvm-rhev-2.1.0-3.el7ev.preview.x86_64 & qemu-kvm-1.5.3-66.el7.x86_64 & qemu-kvm-1.5.3-53.el7.x86_64 on Intel host.

1./usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M q35 -smp 8,cores=2,threads=2,sockets=2,maxcpus=160...

2.{ "execute": "cpu-add", "arguments": { "id": 9 }} 

3.check vcpu number from qemu-kvm HMP
(qemu) info cpus
* CPU #0: pc=0xfffff8037f21f1ff (halted) thread_id=13221
  CPU #1: pc=0xfffff8037f21f1ff (halted) thread_id=13222
  CPU #2: pc=0xfffff8037f21f1ff (halted) thread_id=13223
  CPU #3: pc=0xfffff8037f21f1ff (halted) thread_id=13224
  CPU #4: pc=0xfffff8000039f37e thread_id=13225
  CPU #5: pc=0xfffff8037f21f1ff (halted) thread_id=13226
  CPU #6: pc=0xfffff8037f21f1ff (halted) thread_id=13227
  CPU #7: pc=0xfffff8037f21f1ff (halted) thread_id=13228
  CPU #8: pc=0xfffff8037f21f1ff (halted) thread_id=13232

4. check vcpu number inside guest
 
can find 9 vcpu inside guest from /proc/cpuinfo


For win2012r2 guest with qemu-kvm-rhev-2.1.0-3.el7ev.preview.x86_64 on AMD host 

Got the same result with RHEL7.0 guest.

Test summary.
1. qemu-kvm-1.5.3-53.el7.x86_64 & qemu-kvm-1.5.3-66.el7.x86_64 & qemu-kvm-rhev-2.1.0-3.el7ev.preview.x86_64 support vcpu hotplug

2. For linux and windows guest, both support vcpu hotplug on AMD & Intel host.

Igor,

1.According to this test result above.
Is this bug fixed?  

2.qemu-kvm-1.5.3-53.el7.x86_64 and qemu-kvm-1.5.3-66.el7.x86_64 support vcpu hotplug as well.  Is it expect?

1.5.3 supports CPU hotadd only for piix4 machine, if one tries to use it for q35 machine, CPU will be added (info cpus) but guest won't see it until reboot, since q35 ACPI parts are missing.
