The QEMU cpu affinity is used in NUMA scenarios to ensure that guest memory is allocated from a specific node. Normally memory is allocate on demand in vCPU threads, but when using hugepages the initial thread leader allocates memory upfront. libvirt was not setting affinity of the thread leader, or I/O threads. This patch changes the code to set the process affinity in between the fork()/exec() of QEMU. This ensures that every single QEMU thread gets the affinity * src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Set affinity on entire QEMU process at startup
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.
