Description Luyao Huang 2016-08-10 08:16:50 UTC

Description of problem:
libvirt show wrong vcpupin/emulatorpin configure on a guest which is automatic nodeset

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-2.0.0-4.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.prepare a numa machine:
# numactl --har
available: 4 nodes (0-3)
node 0 cpus: 0 2 4 6 8 10
node 0 size: 10205 MB
node 0 free: 6045 MB
node 1 cpus: 12 14 16 18 20 22
node 1 size: 8192 MB
node 1 free: 5246 MB
node 2 cpus: 1 3 5 7 9 11
node 2 size: 6144 MB
node 2 free: 3819 MB
node 3 cpus: 13 15 17 19 21 23
node 3 size: 8175 MB
node 3 free: 5799 MB
node distances:
node   0   1   2   3 
  0:  10  20  20  20 
  1:  20  10  20  20 
  2:  20  20  10  20 
  3:  20  20  20  10 


2. prepare a inactive guest:

# virsh dumpxml r7 --inactive
<domain type='kvm'>
  <name>r7</name>
  <uuid>67c7a123-5415-4136-af62-a2ee098ba6cd</uuid>
  <maxMemory slots='16' unit='KiB'>15243264</maxMemory>
  <memory unit='KiB'>2097152</memory>
  <currentMemory unit='KiB'>2097152</currentMemory>
  <vcpu placement='auto' current='6'>10</vcpu>
  <numatune>
    <memory mode='strict' placement='auto'/>
  </numatune>


3. start guest:

# virsh start r7
Domain r7 started

4. check numatune/vcpupin/emulatorpin configure via virsh cmd:

# virsh numatune r7 --config
numa_mode      : strict
numa_nodeset   : 0-1

# virsh vcpupin r7 --config

----------------------------------
       *: 0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22

5. verify this is not correct in xml:

 virsh dumpxml r7 --inactive
<domain type='kvm'>
  <name>r7</name>
  <uuid>67c7a123-5415-4136-af62-a2ee098ba6cd</uuid>
  <maxMemory slots='16' unit='KiB'>15243264</maxMemory>
  <memory unit='KiB'>2097152</memory>
  <currentMemory unit='KiB'>2097152</currentMemory>
  <vcpu placement='auto' current='6'>10</vcpu>
  <numatune>
    <memory mode='strict' placement='auto'/>
  </numatune>
  <resource>
    <partition>/machine</partition>
  </resource>
  <os>
    <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-rhel7.3.0'>hvm</type>
    <boot dev='hd'/>
  </os>

6. destroy guest, check it again:

# virsh destroy r7
Domain r7 destroyed

# virsh emulatorpin r7 --config
emulator: CPU Affinity
----------------------------------
       *: 0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22

   9: 0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22

# virsh numatune r7 --config
numa_mode      : strict
numa_nodeset   : 0-1


Actual results:

Expected results:

# virsh numatune r7 --config
numa_mode      : strict
numa_nodeset   :

Comment 3 chhu 2017-04-21 08:58:30 UTC

Hi, Peter

When set the memory mode='strict' placement='auto' in numatune part,
the return of virsh vcpupin/emulatorpin --config are correct.
However, the return of virsh numatune <> --config is wrong, the numa_nodeset should be null.

Please see more details as below:

Try to verify on packages:
libvirt-3.2.0-2.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.8.0-6.el7.x86_64

Test steps:
1. Prepare a numa machine with 4 numa nodes.
2. Prepare an inactive guest.
# virsh dumpxml vm1 --inactive|grep vcpu -A 3
  <vcpu placement='auto' current='6'>10</vcpu>
  <numatune>
    <memory mode='strict' placement='auto'/>
  </numatune>

3. Start the guest. 
# virsh start vm1
Domain vm1 started

4. check numatune/vcpupin/emulatorpin configure via virsh cmd:
# virsh numatune vm1
numa_mode      : strict
numa_nodeset   : 2-3

# virsh numatune vm1 --config
numa_mode      : strict
numa_nodeset   : 2-3

Comment 4 chhu 2017-04-21 09:27:04 UTC

Destroy the guest, check the numatune/vcpupin/emulatorpin configure via virsh cmd:

# virsh destroy vm1
Domain vm1 destroyed

# virsh dumpxml vm1 --inactive| grep vcpu -A 5
