Previously we were ignoring "nodeset" attribute for hugepage pages
if there was no guest NUMA topology configured in the domain XML.
Commit <fa6bdf6afa878b8d7c5ed71664ee72be8967cdc5> partially fixed
that issue but it introduced a somehow valid regression.
In case that there is no guest NUMA topology configured and the
"nodeset" attribute is set to "0" it was accepted and was working
properly even though it was not completely valid XML.
This patch introduces a workaround that it will ignore the nodeset="0"
only in case that there is no guest NUMA topology in order not to
hit the validation error.
After this commit the following XML configuration is valid:
<memoryBacking>
<hugepages>
<page size='2048' unit='KiB' nodeset='0'/>
</hugepages>
</memoryBacking>
but this configuration remains invalid:
<memoryBacking>
<hugepages>
<page size='2048' unit='KiB' nodeset='0'/>
<page size='1048576' unit='KiB'/>
</hugepages>
</memoryBacking>
The issue with the second configuration is that it was originally
working, however changing the order of the <page> elements resolved
into using different page size for the guest. The code is written
in a way that it expect only one page configured and always uses only
the first page in case that there is no guest NUMA topology configured.

Libvirt API for virtualization
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the website:
License
The libvirt C API is distributed under the terms of GNU Lesser General
Public License, version 2.1 (or later). Some parts of the code that are
not part of the C library may have the more restrictive GNU General
Public License, version 2.1 (or later). See the files COPYING.LESSER
and COPYING for full license terms & conditions.
Installation
Libvirt uses the GNU Autotools build system, so in general can be built and installed with the usual commands. For example, to build in a manner that is suitable for installing as root, use:
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
$ make
$ sudo make install
While to build & install as an unprivileged user
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
$ make
$ make install
The libvirt code relies on a large number of 3rd party libraries. These will
be detected during execution of the configure script and a summary printed
which lists any missing (optional) dependencies.
