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.

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.
Use it in all places where a memory or storage request size is converted
to a larger granularity. This avoids requesting too small memory or storage
sizes that could result from the truncation done by a simple division.
This extends the round up fix in 6002e0406c
to the whole codebase.
Instead of reporting errors for odd values in the VMX code round them up.
Update the QEMU Argv tests accordingly as the original memory size 219200
isn't a even multiple of 1024 and is rounded up to 215 megabyte now. Change
it to 219100 and 219136. Use two different values intentionally to make
sure that rounding up works.
Update virsh.pod accordingly, as rounding down and rejecting are replaced
by rounding up.
To allow compatibility with older QEMU PCI device slot assignment
it is necessary to explicitly track the balloon device in the
XML. This introduces a new device
<memballoon model='virtio|xen'/>
It can also have a PCI address, auto-assigned if necessary.
The memballoon will be automatically added to all Xen and QEMU
guests by default.
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Add <memballoon> element
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: parsing
and formatting for memballoon device. Always add a memory
balloon device to Xen/QEMU if none exists in XML
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Export memballoon model APIs
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: Honour the
PCI device address in memory balloon device
* tests/*: Update to test new functionality
The virtio serial changes broke the test suite because they forgot
to add the new address attribute to the domain XML schema. The
xml2xml test also broke because the XML no longer roundtrips. This
is due to testing of auto-addition of <controller> elements. Split
that test case off into a separate XML file to avoid breakage
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Allow port number for virtio serial addresses
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-channel-virtio.args,
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-channel-virtio.xml: Revert to
a simple config to avoid breaking xml2xml test
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-channel-virtio-auto.xml,
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-channel-virtio-auto.args: Add
complex test case for auto-controller addition for xml2argv test
* tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c: Add channel-virtio-auto test
The domain parsing code would auto-add a virtio serial controller
if it saw any virtio serial channel defined. Unfortunately it
always added a controller with index=0, even if the channel address
specified an index != 0. It only added one controller, even if
multiple controllers were referenced by channels. Finally, it let
the ports+vectors parameters initialize to zero instead of -1, which
prevented the controllers accepting any ports.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c: Initialize ports+vectors when adding
virtio serial controllers. Add all neccessary virtio serial
controllers, instead of hardcoding controller 0
* qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-channel-virtio.args,
qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-channel-virtio.xml: Expand to
test controller auto-add behaviour
To ensure that the device addressing scheme is stable across
hotplug/unplug, all virtio serial channels needs to have an
associated port number in their address. This is then specified
to QEMU using the nr=NNN parameter
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: Parsing
for port number in vioserial address types.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Set 'nr=NNN' parameter with virtio
serial port number
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-channel-virtio.args,
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-channel-virtio.xml: Expand
data set to ensure coverage of port addressing
Add support for virtio-serial by defining a new 'virtio' channel target type
and a virtio-serial controller. Allows the following to be specified in a
domain:
<controller type='virtio-serial' index='0' ports='16' vectors='4'/>
<channel type='pty'>
<target type='virtio' name='org.linux-kvm.port.0'/>
<address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0'/>
</channel>
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Add virtio-serial controller and virtio
channel type.
* src/conf/domain_conf.[ch]: Domain parsing/serialization for
virtio-serial controller and virtio channel.
* tests/qemuxml2xmltest.c
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-channel-virtio.xml: add domain xml
parsing test
* src/libvirt_private.syms src/qemu/qemu_conf.c:
virDomainDefAddDiskControllers() renamed to
virDomainDefAddImplicitControllers()
