hi Martin

It’s really nice of you to help reviewing the mass code. Thanks.

I don’t find a better way to split patch.

The cache_id automatically implies level and type. Either have one or
the other. I know we talked about this already (maybe multiple times),
but without any clear outcome. For me the sensible thing is to have
level and type as that doesn't need to be changed when moving between
hosts, and if it cannot be migrated, then it's properly checked.

Think about this case, if the VM has numa setting, the VM has multiple vcpu
running across sockets, if we don’t specify cache_id (cache id stand for
on which Socket/Cache), how can we know on which Socket we allocation for the VM?


I missed this.  Ye, you're right, thanks for showing that with a use
case.  We could then require only the cache_id and automatically fill
in level and type.  Migration (or rather any start) should then fail if
that cache_id doesn't correspond to the level and type requested.  I
still can't find a reason for 'id', though.

I can image there’s 2 cases:

1. if we don’t specify vcpus, and our host have 2 or more Socket, we have this xml define

<cachetune id='0' level='3' type='both' size='2816' unit=‘KiB’>

We allocate 2816 KiB cache on all of the Socket/Cache.

2. if we specify vcpus
<cachetune id='0' level='3' type='both' size='2816' unit=‘KiB’, vcpus=‘1,2'>

<cachetune id=‘1' level='3' type='both' size=‘5632' unit=‘KiB’, vcpus=‘3,4’>

We need to make sure we vcpu 1, 2 are mapped to Socket/Cache 0 and 3,4 on Socket/Cache 1.
So that vcpus running on Socket/Cache 0 has 2816 KiB cache allocated and vcpus running on
Socket/Cache 1 has 5632 KiB cache allocated.

Does it make sense?

It is part of cputune in the XML, why not here?

Oh yes, I will rethink how to simple the domain cache tune.
