Description Andrea Bolognani 2015-08-10 12:13:00 UTC
Description of problem:

  libvirtd reads some information about the system at startup only;
  this include the CPU topology.

  If the configuration is changed after that moment, the information
  reported will be incomplete or inaccurate.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

  qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-16.el7.ppc64le


How reproducible:

  Always.


Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Boot the system
  2. Run 'virsh capabilities' as root


Actual results:

  The output contains partial information for the secondary threads, eg.

    <cpus num='40'>
      <cpu id='80' socket_id='16' core_id='2088' siblings='80'/>
      <cpu id='81'/>
      <cpu id='82'/>
      <cpu id='83'/>
      <cpu id='84'/>
      <cpu id='85'/>
      <cpu id='86'/>
      <cpu id='87'/>
      <cpu id='88' socket_id='16' core_id='2096' siblings='88'/>
      <cpu id='89'/>
      <cpu id='90'/>
      <cpu id='91'/>
      <cpu id='92'/>
      <cpu id='93'/>
      <cpu id='94'/>
      <cpu id='95'/>
      <cpu id='96' socket_id='16' core_id='2144' siblings='96'/>
      <cpu id='97'/>
      <cpu id='98'/>
      <cpu id='99'/>
      <cpu id='100'/>
      <cpu id='101'/>
      <cpu id='102'/>
      <cpu id='103'/>
      <cpu id='104' socket_id='16' core_id='2152' siblings='104'/>
      <cpu id='105'/>
      <cpu id='106'/>
      <cpu id='107'/>
      <cpu id='108'/>
      <cpu id='109'/>
      <cpu id='110'/>
      <cpu id='111'/>
      <cpu id='112' socket_id='16' core_id='2160' siblings='112'/>
      <cpu id='113'/>
      <cpu id='114'/>
      <cpu id='115'/>
      <cpu id='116'/>
      <cpu id='117'/>
      <cpu id='118'/>
      <cpu id='119'/>
    </cpus>


Expected results:

  The output only contains information about the primary threads, eg.

    <cpus num='5'>
      <cpu id='80' socket_id='16' core_id='2088' siblings='80'/>
      <cpu id='88' socket_id='16' core_id='2096' siblings='88'/>
      <cpu id='96' socket_id='16' core_id='2144' siblings='96'/>
      <cpu id='104' socket_id='16' core_id='2152' siblings='104'/>
      <cpu id='112' socket_id='16' core_id='2160' siblings='112'/>
    </cpus>


Additional info:

  I have added the required information as an override:

    $ sudo systemctl cat kvm-setup.service
    # /usr/lib/systemd/system/kvm-setup.service
    [Unit]
    Description=Perform system configuration to prepare system to run KVM guests
    # Offlining CPUs can cause irqbalance to throw warnings if it's running
    Before=irqbalance.service

    [Service]
    Type=oneshot
    EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/kvm
    ExecStart=/usr/lib/systemd/kvm-setup
    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target

    # /etc/systemd/system/kvm-setup.service.d/override.conf
    [Unit]
    Before=libvirtd.service

  and this change is enough to fix the issue.

  The additional Before= entry should be added to kvm-setup.service so
  that the sysadmin won't have to perform these steps manually.
