Use of qemuDomainValidateVcpuInfo in the helpers for hotplug and unplug of vCPUs can lead to spurious errors reported such as: internal error: qemu didn't report thread id for vcpu 'XX'" The reason for this is that qemuDomainValidateVcpuInfo validates the state of all vCPUs against the expected state of vCPUs. If an unplug operation completed before libvirt was unable to process it yet the expected state could not reflect the current state. To avoid spurious errors the qemuDomainHotplugAddVcpu and qemuDomainRemoveVcpu functions are modified to do localized validation only for the vCPUs they actually modify. We also now ensure that the cgroups are modified before bailing out on error for any vCPUs which passed validation. Additionally in order for qemuDomainRemoveVcpuAlias to be able to find the unplugged vCPU we must ensure that qemuDomainRefreshVcpuInfo does not clear out the alias in case when the vCPU is no longer reported by qemu.

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.
