One quick question; For future i am looking into way to somehow auto- tune node (cell/socket/cpu) assignment under <numa> directive. Such in a way brings intelligence into libvirt and therefor not wanted. Perhaps this is up to s/w stack utilizing guests per libvirt. If there are thoughts on such matter then i am very interested to hear about them. > On Wed, Jun 28, 2017 at 03:56:36PM +0200, Wim Ten Have wrote: > > From: Wim ten Have <wim.ten.have@xxxxxxxxxx> > > > > Add libvirtd NUMA cell domain administration functionality to > > describe underlying cell id sibling distances in full fashion > > when configuring HVM guests. > > > > [below is an example of a 4 node setup] > > > > <cpu> > > <numa> > > <cell id='0' cpus='0' memory='2097152' unit='KiB'> > > <distances> > > <sibling id='0' value='10'/> > > <sibling id='1' value='21'/> > > <sibling id='2' value='31'/> > > <sibling id='3' value='41'/> > > </distances> > > </cell> > > <cell id='1' cpus='1' memory='2097152' unit='KiB'> > > <distances> > > <sibling id='0' value='21'/> > > <sibling id='1' value='10'/> > > <sibling id='2' value='31'/> > > <sibling id='3' value='41'/> > > </distances> > > </cell> > > <cell id='2' cpus='2' memory='2097152' unit='KiB'> > > <distances> > > <sibling id='0' value='31'/> > > <sibling id='1' value='21'/> > > <sibling id='2' value='10'/> > > <sibling id='3' value='21'/> > > </distances> > > <cell id='3' cpus='3' memory='2097152' unit='KiB'> > > <distances> > > <sibling id='0' value='41'/> > > <sibling id='1' value='31'/> > > <sibling id='2' value='21'/> > > <sibling id='3' value='10'/> > > </distances> > > </cell> > > </numa> > > </cpu> > > > > Changes under this commit concern all those that require adding > > the valid data structures, virDomainNuma* functional routines and the > > XML doc schema enhancements to enforce appropriate administration. > > > > These changes are accompanied with topic related documentation under > > docs/formatdomain.html within the "CPU model and topology" extending the > > "Guest NUMA topology" paragraph. > > > > For terminology we refer to sockets as "nodes" where access to each > > others' distinct resources such as memory make them "siblings" with a > > designated "distance" between them.

I maybe missing your thought on specific one. There's other use on memory allocation under this layer but if there is no memory left how could it possibly report other then have specific function return error? > Callers need to have consistent error reporting for all scenarios Let me carefully go over whole again.
