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.
Description of problem:
guest will have broken settings if we delete a vcpu which included in some domain vcpu sched
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-1.2.16-1.el7.x86_64
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. prepare a guest like this:
<vcpu placement='static' cpuset='0-1'>5</vcpu>
...
<cputune>
<emulatorpin cpuset='1-3'/>
<vcpusched vcpus='0-2,4' scheduler='idle'/>
<iothreadsched iothreads='1-2' scheduler='idle'/>
</cputune>
2. use setvcpus remove vcpu 4:
# virsh setvcpus test4 --maximum 4 --config
3. recheck xml
<vcpu placement='static' cpuset='0-1'>4</vcpu>
...
<cputune>
<emulatorpin cpuset='1-3'/>
<vcpusched vcpus='0-2,4' scheduler='idle'/>
<iothreadsched iothreads='1-2' scheduler='idle'/>
</cputune>
4. restart libvirtd and check guest
# service libvirtd restart
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl restart libvirtd.service
# virsh dumpxml test4
error: failed to get domain 'test4'
error: Domain not found: no domain with matching name 'test4'
Actual results:
guest will have broken settings if we delete a vcpu which included in some domain vcpu sched
Expected results:
remove the use of vcpu 4 in vcpusched in step 3

conf: Don't store vcpusched orthogonally to other vcpu info
Due to bad design the vcpu sched element is orthogonal to the way how
the data belongs to the corresponding objects. Now that vcpus are a
struct that allow to store other info too, let's convert the data to the
sane structure.
The helpers for the conversion are made universal so that they can be
reused for iothreads too.
This patch also resolves https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1235180
since with the correct storage approach you can't have dangling data.
v1.3.1-159-g99c5fe0
