numad is an user-level daemon that monitors NUMA topology and
processes resource consumption to facilitate good NUMA resource
alignment of applications/virtual machines to improve performance
and minimize cost of remote memory latencies. It provides a
pre-placement advisory interface, so significant processes can
be pre-bound to nodes with sufficient available resources.
More details: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/numad
"numad -w ncpus:memory_amount" is the advisory interface numad
provides currently.
This patch add the support by introducing a new XML attribute
for <vcpu>. e.g.
<vcpu placement="auto">4</vcpu>
<vcpu placement="static" cpuset="1-10^6">4</vcpu>
The returned advisory nodeset from numad will be printed
in domain's dumped XML. e.g.
<vcpu placement="auto" cpuset="1-10^6">4</vcpu>
If placement is "auto", the number of vcpus and the current
memory amount specified in domain XML will be used for numad
command line (numad uses MB for memory amount):
numad -w $num_of_vcpus:$current_memory_amount / 1024
The advisory nodeset returned from numad will be used to set
domain process CPU affinity then. (e.g. qemuProcessInitCpuAffinity).
If the user specifies both CPU affinity policy (e.g.
(<vcpu cpuset="1-10,^7,^8">4</vcpu>) and placement == "auto"
the specified CPU affinity will be overridden.
Only QEMU/KVM drivers support it now.
See docs update in patch for more details.
Make it obvious to 'dumpxml' readers what unit we are using,
since our default of KiB for memory (1024) differs from qemu's
default of MiB; and differs from our use of bytes for storage.
Tests were updated via:
$ find tests/*data tests/*out -name '*.xml' | \
xargs sed -i 's/<\(memory\|currentMemory\|hard_limit\|soft_limit\|min_guarantee\|swap_hard_limit\)>/<\1 unit='"'KiB'>/"
$ find tests/*data tests/*out -name '*.xml' | \
xargs sed -i 's/<\(capacity\|allocation\|available\)>/<\1 unit='"'bytes'>/"
followed by a few fixes for the stragglers.
Note that with this patch, the RNG for <memory> still forbids
validation of anything except unit='KiB', since the code silently
ignores the attribute; a later patch will expand <memory> to allow
scaled input in the code and update the RNG to match.
* docs/schemas/basictypes.rng (unit): Add 'bytes'.
(scaledInteger): New define.
* docs/schemas/storagevol.rng (sizing): Use it.
* docs/schemas/storagepool.rng (sizing): Likewise.
* docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng (memoryKBElement): New define; use
for memory elements.
* src/conf/storage_conf.c (virStoragePoolDefFormat)
(virStorageVolDefFormat): Likewise.
* src/conf/domain_conf.h (_virDomainDef): Document unit used
internally.
* src/conf/storage_conf.h (_virStoragePoolDef, _virStorageVolDef):
Likewise.
* tests/*data/*.xml: Update all tests.
* tests/*out/*.xml: Likewise.

* tests/qemuargv2xmltest.c (blankProblemElements): Likewise.
* src/conf/domain_conf.h: Add new member "target" to struct
_virDomainDeviceDriveAddress.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c: Parse and format "target"
* Lots of tests (.xml) in tests/domainsnapshotxml2xmlout,
tests/qemuxml2argvdata, tests/qemuxml2xmloutdata, and
tests/vmx2xmldata/ are modified for newly introduced
attribute "target" for address of "drive" type.
Some tools, such as virt-manager, prefers having the default USB
controller explicit in the XML document. This patch makes sure there
is one. With this patch, it is now possible to switch from USB1 to
USB2 from the release 0.9.1 of virt-manager.
Fix tests to pass with this change.
Security label type 'none' requires relabel to be set to 'no' so there's
no reason to output this extra attribute. Moreover, since relabel is
internally stored in a negative from (norelabel), the default value for
relabel would be 'yes' in case there is no <seclabel> element in domain
configuration. In case VIR_DOMAIN_SECLABEL_DEFAULT turns into
VIR_DOMAIN_SECLABEL_NONE, we would incorrectly output relabel='yes' for
seclabel type 'none'.
Commit b170eb99 introduced a bug: domains that had an explicit
<seclabel type='none'/> when started would not be reparsed if
libvirtd restarted. It turns out that our testsuite was not
exercising this because it never tried anything but inactive
parsing. Additionally, the live XML for such a domain failed
to re-validate. Applying just the tests/ portion of this patch
will expose the bugs that are fixed by the other two files.
* docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng (seclabel): Allow relabel under
type='none'.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c (virSecurityLabelDefParseXML): Per RNG,
presence of <seclabel> with no type implies dynamic. Don't
require sub-elements for type='none'.
* tests/qemuxml2xmltest.c (mymain): Add test.
* tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c (mymain): Likewise.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-seclabel-none.xml: Add file.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-seclabel-none.args: Add file.
