We will need a Topology device to transfer the topology

The device creation is fenced by s390_has_topology().

Why is this a DeviceState, not S390Topology?
It *has* to be a S390Topology, right? Since you cast it to one in patch 2.

Yes, currently it is the S390Topology.
The idea of Cedric was to have something more generic for future use.

Why set this property, and why on the machine parent?

For what I understood setting the num_cores and num_sockets as properties of the CPU Topology object allows to have them better integrated in the QEMU object framework.

The topology is added to the S390CcwmachineState, it is the parent of the machine.

+                            machine->smp.cores * machine->smp.threads, errp);

+
+    sysbus_realize_and_unref(SYS_BUS_DEVICE(dev), errp);

I must admit that I haven't fully grokked qemu's memory management yet.
Is the topology devices now owned by the sysbus?

Yes it is so we see it on the qtree with its properties.


If so, is it fine to have a pointer to it S390CcwMachineState?

Why not?
It seems logical to me that the sysbus belong to the virtual machine.
But sometime the way of QEMU are not very transparent for me :)
so I can be wrong.

Pierre
