In v6.7.0-rc1~86 I've tried to fix a problem where we were not
detecting NUMA nodes properly because we misused behaviour of a
libnuma API and as it turned out the behaviour was correct for
hosts with 64 CPUs in one NUMA node. So I changed the code to use
nodemask_isset(&numa_all_nodes, ..) instead and it fixed the
problem on such hosts. However, what I did not realize is that
numa_all_nodes does not reflect all NUMA nodes visible to
userspace, it contains only those nodes that the process
(libvirtd) an allocate memory from, which can be only a subset of
all NUMA nodes. The bitmask that contains all NUMA nodes visible
to userspace and which one I should have used is: numa_nodes_ptr.
For curious ones:
4a22f22382
And as I was fixing virNumaGetNodeCPUs() I came to realize that
we already have a function that wraps the correct bitmask:
virNumaNodeIsAvailable().

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.
