Downstream CI recently encountered failures of libxlxml2domconfigtest when building libvirt packages against Xen 4.17 rc3 packages. The test fails on vnuma_hvm config, where suddently the actual json produced by libxl_domain_config_to_json() contains a 'pnode' entry in the 'vnuma_nodes' list, which is absent in the expected json. It appears the test has thus far passed by luck. E.g. I was able to make the test pass in the failing environment by changing the meson buildtype from debugoptimized to debug. When a VM config contains vnuma settings, libxlMakeVnumaList() checks if the number of requested vnuma nodes exceeds the number of physical nodes. The number of physical nodes is retrieved with libxl_get_physinfo(), which can return wildly different results in the context of unit tests. This change mocks libxl_get_physinfo() to return consistent results. All fields of the libxl_physinfo struct are set to 0 except nr_nodes, which is set to 6 to ensure the vnuma_hvm configuration is properly tested.

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.
