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.

Fixed In Version: libvirt-0.9.10-21.el6_3.7
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
The AMD Bulldozer architecture consists of "modules" which are reported by the kernel as both threads and cores. Libvirt's processor topology detection code wasn't able to detect this properly thus libvirt reported twice the actual number of processors. This issue was fixed by reporting a topology that adds up to the total number of processors reported in the system but the actual topology has to be checked in output of virCapabilities() (virsh capabilities). Also the fallback output was documented. Additionally the users should be instructed to use the capability output for topology detection purposes due to performance reasons. NUMA topology has the important impact performance-wise but the physical topology can differ from that.
