The man page of qemu(2.6.2), states the following:

      -smp
[cpus=]n[,cores=cores][,threads=threads][,sockets=sockets][,maxcpus=maxcpus]
          Simulate an SMP system with n CPUs. On the PC target, up to 255
CPUs are supported. On Sparc32 target, Linux limits the number of usable
CPUs to 4.  For the PC target, the number of cores per
          socket, the number of threads per cores and the total number of
sockets can be specified. Missing values will be computed. *If any on the
three values is given, the total number of CPUs n can be
          omitted*. maxcpus specifies the maximum number of hotpluggable
CPUs.

So, I built the master branch of libvirt and tested the following:

Client:

$ ./run ./tools/virsh domxml-from-native qemu-argv <(echo
'/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -smp cores=2,threads=1,sockets=1')
error: Disconnected from qemu:///session due to I/O error
error: Cannot recv data: Connection reset by peer

qemuDomainDefVcpusPostParse (def=0x7fffb8000ec0) at qemu/qemu_domain.c:2480
2480    if (!vcpu->online) {


qemuDomainDefVcpusPostParse() calls vcpu = virDomainDefGetVcpu(def, 0),
which returns NULL.

I'd be happy to send a patch, but I am not sure what the right solution is.

- Should not specifying n to -smp allowed?

I don't understand that ^^.

- Should -cpus=n also be parsed in qemuParseCommandLineSmp()?


But the parsing code should be fixed.  Looks like the value could be
just computed.  But domxml-to-native is not very used I believe.

Cheers!
