Description Martin Polednik 2016-07-13 14:00:31 UTC 
Description of problem:
On NUMA aware systems, host device's MMIO memory region resides on one of available numa nodes. We should prefer such node when starting VM with host devices to improve device performance and latency as memory reads and writes are faster within a node (distance 1.0).
Comment 1 Sandro Bonazzola 2016-12-12 13:55:11 UTC 
The fix for this issue should be included in oVirt 4.1.0 beta 1 released on December 1st. If not included please move back to modified.
Comment 2 Artyom 2017-01-16 14:32:12 UTC 
Verified on vdsm-4.19.1-44.git945b2f6.el7.centos.x86_64 by polarion test cases.

1) The VM with PCI host device(has numa_node=0), runs with preferred NUMA node 0
2) NUMA pinning override PCI host device NUMA mode.

Updated doc text to be appropriate for a release note. I'll be opening a docs bug based on the full doc text shortly.
