Description Luyao Huang 2015-08-27 07:58:19 UTC
Description of problem:
libvirt could have a check to host node during use numatune

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-1.2.17-6.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. prepare a running guest and bind guest to a invalid nodeset:

# virsh numatune test3 0 100
error: Unable to change numa parameters
error: Invalid value '100' for 'cpuset.mems': Invalid argument


2.
3.

Actual results:
libvirt do not check if the node is available then try to set the node to cgroup
 
Expected results:

just like when we start a guest with invalid nodeset:

# virsh start test3
error: Failed to start domain test3
error: unsupported configuration: NUMA node 100 is unavailable

Verify this bug with libvirt-1.3.4-1.el7.x86_64:

1. prepare a running guest:

# virsh list --all
 Id    Name                           State
----------------------------------------------------
 59    rhel72-test                    running

2. bind guest mem to a invalid nodeset:

# numactl --hard
