The virDomainObjPtr is locked, so the cpumask for the vcpu should not change. We just asked for the size of the map, thus shouldn't be asking for a bit outside that range, right? I suppose if failure was somehow possible, it would indicate misconfiguration. E.g. an invalid cpumask for the vcpu. If so, something like "Failed to decode cpumask for vcpu '%zd'" is more helpful Regards, Jim -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
