Thanks for the proposal! Just a few questions inline, otherwise looks good for my use cases.

What do you think about it ?



/**

    VIR_VCPU_OFFLINE    = 0,    /* the virtual CPU is offline */

    int state;                  /* value from virVcpuState */
    unsigned long long cpuTime; /* CPU time used, in nanoseconds */
    int cpu;                    /* real CPU number, or -1 if offline */

int *virDomainSetVcpus*   (virDomainPtr domain,

How do I get the "size of CPU map in underlying virtualization system" described in maplen comments?

/* Macros for bit manipulation in cpumap */
#define *USE_CPU*(cpumap,cpu)     (cpumap[(cpu)/8] |=  (1<<((cpu)%8)))
#define *UNUSE_CPU*(cpumap,cpu)   (cpumap[(cpu)/8] &= ~(1<<((cpu)%8)))


/**

 * @*info*: pointer to an array of virVcpuInfo structures
 * @*maxinfo*: number of structures in info array
* @*cpumaps*: pointer to a bit map of real CPUs for all vcpus of this domain. * If cpumaps is NULL, then no cpumap information is returned by the API.
 *      It's assumed there is <maxinfo> cpumap in cpumaps.
 *      The memory allocated to cpumaps must be (maxinfo * maplen) bytes.
* One cpumap inside cupmaps have the format described in virDomainPinVcpu API. * @*maplen*: number of bytes in one cpumap, from 1 up to size of CPU map in
 *      underlying virtualization system (Xen...).
 *
* Extract information about virtual CPUs of domain, store it in info array.
 *

 */
int *virDomainGetVcpus*   (virDomainPtr domain,
                         virVcpuInfoPtr info,
                         int maxinfo,
                         unsigned char *cpumaps, /* may be NULL */
                         int maplen);

If there is no physical cpu affinity (e.g. the default - vcpus can float among any pcpu), does each cpumap in cpumaps have all bits set? Do we indicate no affinity by having all possible pcpus marked as bound?


/* Macros for bit testing in cpumaps */
#define *CPU_USABLE*(cpumaps,maplen,vcpu,cpu) \
    (cpumaps[((vcpu)*(maplen))+((cpu)/8)] & (1<<((cpu)%8)))

/*
* Macro for copying the cpumap of a vcpu from cupmaps inside a standalone cpumap. * This macro is useful in case of using virDomainPinVcpu() after virDomainGetVcpus().
 * cpumap must be previously allocated.
 */
#define *COPY_CPUMAP*(cpumaps,maplen,vcpu,cpumap) \
    memcpy(cpumap, &(cpumaps[(vcpu)*(maplen)]), (maplen))
