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.

John Ferlan 1cfc0a9990 virsh: Add iothreadpin command
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1135491

$ virsh iothread --help

  NAME
    iothreadpin - control domain IOThread affinity

  SYNOPSIS
    iothreadpin <domain> <iothread> <cpulist> [--config] [--live] [--current]

  DESCRIPTION
    Pin domain IOThreads to host physical CPUs.

  OPTIONS
    [--domain] <string>  domain name, id or uuid
    [--iothread] <number>  IOThread ID number
    [--cpulist] <string>  host cpu number(s) to set
    --config         affect next boot
    --live           affect running domain
    --current        affect current domain

Using the output from iothreadsinfo, allow changing the pinned CPUs for
a single IOThread.

$ virsh iothreadsinfo $dom
 IOThread ID    CPU Affinity
---------------------------------------------------
 1               2
 2               3
 3               0-1

$ virsh iothreadpin $dom 3 0-2

Then view the change

$ virsh iothreadsinfo $dom
 IOThread ID    CPU Affinity
---------------------------------------------------
 1               2
 2               3
 3               0-2

If an invalid value is supplied or require option missing,
then an error will be displayed:

$ virsh iothreadpin $dom 4 3
error: invalid argument: iothread value out of range 4 > 3

$ virsh iothreadpin $dom 3
error: command 'iothreadpin' requires <cpulist> option

         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.
