Commit 1c24cfe9 fix the problem in virNumaSetPagePoolSize,
this patch just like it and fix the issue in another function.

when user use freepages and specify a invalid node or page size,
will get error like this:

   # virsh freepages 0 1
   error: Failed to open file
'/sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-1kB/free_hugepages':
No such file or directory

Add two checks to catch this and therefore produce much more
friendlier error messages.

duh - meant to add:

as perhaps a "patch 2" of the series (making this patch 3) - would it be
perhaps better to indicate "page size of "%u" or NUMA node "%d" not
available", using page_size, node as the arguments?

??
Good idea, and how about make the code like this:

Thanks pointing out that, i wrote them too fast, so you know... :)

This part of the message could be displayed when node == -1 in the event
that !virNumaNodeIsAvailable is false. I think that's right based on
what virNumaGetHugePageInfoPath does, but I just want to make sure that
is what you'd expect...

Yes, this is expected, since if node == -1 we will check the /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/* path, if we get failed, then means the hugepage size is not valid.

Conversely if page_size != -1, then would it make sense to add the
page_size or not?  That is, sure page_size 'x' is not available, but
would it make sense to say "NUMA node 1 is not available for page size
2048"?  IDC either way, but what if NUMA node 1 does exist, but the
specified page size doesn't?

I guess you want to say "if node != -1" ? yes, report error like "NUMA node 1 is not available for page size 2048" will be more clearly in the case which node is exist but the page_size is not.

+        }
          goto cleanup;
      }



We need check if node == -1 to avoid output error include "NUMA node
"-1" ", and instead of check the nodeset again and again, i think just
check them when we cannot find the file (!virFileExists(nr_path)),
check the return from virNumaNodeIsAvailable() to output different error.

Thanks in advance for your reply and help.

Let's have you create a v2... Insert the "virNumaSetPagePoolSize" change
as patch #2 with the adjusted code path and error message. The commit
message should mention commit id '1c24cfe9' and that you're looking to
make the error message/path cleare.

They the current patch 2 becomes patch 3 with the similar code or
whatever else you've considered doing.

Okay, i will post a new version these days.

I can adjust commit messages for syntax/english...

Thanks a lot for your help, so i just leave the old commit messages when write a new version ?

I think you (and people who help me to improve the commit) nearly become my English teacher :D
