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.

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. |

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
