Description Cole Robinson 2015-03-31 20:47:56 UTC 
This commit:

commit c13de016916c826ad4d35157ee6a52baee87ac22
Author: Wei Huang <wei>

    nodeinfo: Increase the num of CPU thread siblings to a larger value

Fixed a nodeinfo error on some aarch64 kernels. When it was failing though libvirt was reporting the 'An error occurred, but the cause is unknown' catch all. That should be fixed.

It should be reproducible with the test suite now as of commit 7c3c7f217. So revert Wei's commit above, run the nodeinfo test, and it should fail with no useful error reported.

    Report errors in virNodeCountThreadSiblings
    
    Use virFileReadAll which reports an error when the file is larger
    than the specified maximum.
