https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1503284 The way we currently start qemu from CPU affinity POV is as follows: 1) the child process is set affinity to all online CPUs (unless some vcpu pinning was given in the domain XML) 2) Once qemu is running, cpuset cgroup is configured taking memory pinning into account Problem is that we let qemu allocate its memory just anywhere in 1) and then rely in 2) to be able to move the memory to configured NUMA nodes. This might not be always possible (e.g. qemu might lock some parts of its memory) and is very suboptimal (copying large memory between NUMA nodes takes significant amount of time). The solution is to set affinity to one of (in priority order): - The CPUs associated with NUMA memory affinity mask - The CPUs associated with emulator pinning - All online host CPUs Later (once QEMU has allocated its memory) we then change this again to (again in priority order): - The CPUs associated with emulator pinning - The CPUs returned by numad - The CPUs associated with vCPU pinning - All online host CPUs Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@xxxxxxxxxx> --- diff to v1 (both points suggested by Dan): - Expanded the commit message - fixed qemuProcessGetAllCpuAffinity so that it returns online CPU map only src/qemu/qemu_process.c | 132 +++++++++++++++++++--------------------- 1 file changed, 63 insertions(+), 69 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_process.c b/src/qemu/qemu_process.c index 7592c98b74..dace5aaca1 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_process.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_process.c @@ -2435,6 +2435,21 @@ qemuProcessDetectIOThreadPIDs(virQEMUDriverPtr driver, } +static int +qemuProcessGetAllCpuAffinity(virBitmapPtr *cpumapRet) +{ + *cpumapRet = NULL; + + if (!virHostCPUHasBitmap()) + return 0; + + if (!(*cpumapRet = virHostCPUGetOnlineBitmap())) + return -1; + + return 0; +} + + /* * To be run between fork/exec of QEMU only */ @@ -2443,9 +2458,9 @@ static int qemuProcessInitCpuAffinity(virDomainObjPtr vm) { int ret = -1; - virBitmapPtr cpumap = NULL; virBitmapPtr cpumapToSet = NULL; - virBitmapPtr hostcpumap = NULL; + VIR_AUTOPTR(virBitmap) hostcpumap = NULL; + virDomainNumatuneMemMode mem_mode; qemuDomainObjPrivatePtr priv = vm->privateData; if (!vm->pid) { @@ -2454,59 +2469,39 @@ qemuProcessInitCpuAffinity(virDomainObjPtr vm) return -1; } - if (vm->def->placement_mode == VIR_DOMAIN_CPU_PLACEMENT_MODE_AUTO) { - VIR_DEBUG("Set CPU affinity with advisory nodeset from numad"); - cpumapToSet = priv->autoCpuset; + /* Here is the deal, we can't set cpuset.mems before qemu is + * started as it clashes with KVM allocation.
