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-0.10.2-18.el6_4.1
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: The AMD Bulldozer CPU architecture consists of so-called "modules". These are represented both as separate cores and separate threads. Management applications need to choose between one of the approaches. Libvirt wasn't providing enough information to do this. Consequence: Management applications weren't able to represent the modules in a bulldozer core according to their needs. Fix: The capabilities XML output now contains more information about the processor topology so that the management apps can extract the information they need.

Comment 13 Dave Allan 2013-04-04 18:15:37 UTC 
Peter, do we have tests for this BZ in make check?
Comment 14 Peter Krempa 2013-04-04 19:13:17 UTC 
No, there are no automated tests for that code. Unfortunately the code partly depends on data provided by libnuma and we currently don't have a way how to trick it into reading test datasets.
