As we fixed a bug(Bug 1) in below links, Named "Method-A": https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-01/msg03354.html
Then, Eduardo gave us many suggests. Thanks very much! when we try them, we also find another bugs named "Bug 2". [Problem] --------- As I use this command: ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 \ -hda /image/fedora.img \ -m 1G,slots=4,maxmem=4G \ -enable-kvm \ -smp 2,maxcpus=16,sockets=4,cores=2,threads=2 \ -device qemu64-x86_64-cpu,id=cpu1,socket-id=0,core-id=1,thread-id=0 \ -device qemu64-x86_64-cpu,id=cpu2,socket-id=0,core-id=1,thread-id=1 \ -device qemu64-x86_64-cpu,id=cpu3,socket-id=1,core-id=0,thread-id=0 \ -device qemu64-x86_64-cpu,id=cpu4,socket-id=1,core-id=0,thread-id=1 \ -device qemu64-x86_64-cpu,id=cpu5,socket-id=1,core-id=1,thread-id=0 \ -device qemu64-x86_64-cpu,id=cpu6,socket-id=1,core-id=1,thread-id=1 \ -numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0-3 \ -numa node,nodeid=1,cpus=4-7 \ -numa node,nodeid=2,cpus=8-11 \ -numa node,nodeid=3,cpus=12-15 \ -monitor stdio \ 1. Bug 1 -------- In Qemu monitor: (qemu) info numa 4 nodes node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 node 0 size: 256 MB node 1 cpus: node 1 size: 256 MB node 2 cpus: node 2 size: 256 MB node 3 cpus: node 3 size: 256 MB 2. Bug 2 -------- (qemu) device_add qemu64-x86_64-cpu,id=cpu7,socket-id=2,core-id=0,thread-id=0 (qemu) info numa 4 nodes node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 node 0 size: 256 MB node 1 cpus: node 1 size: 256 MB node 2 cpus: node 2 size: 256 MB node 3 cpus: node 3 size: 256 MB [Method-A] ---------- 1. Method-A that we provided above: * Ensure the numa_post_machine_init func in the appropriate location in vl.c::main(). It can fix Bug 1, but, can't work for Bug 2. 1.1. For Bug 1: fixed (qemu) info numa 4 nodes node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 node 0 size: 256 MB node 1 cpus: 4 5 6 7 node 1 size: 256 MB node 2 cpus: node 2 size: 256 MB node 3 cpus: node 3 size: 256 MB 1.2. For Bug 2: can not fixed (qemu) device_add qemu64-x86_64-cpu,id=cpu7,socket-id=2,core-id=0,thread-id=0 (qemu) info numa node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 8 node 0 size: 256 MB node 1 cpus: 4 5 6 7 node 1 size: 256 MB node 2 cpus: node 2 size: 256 MB node 3 cpus: node 3 size: 256 MB [Solution] ---------- Move the CPUState::numa_node initialization to qom/cpu.c:cpu_common_realizefn(), and remove numa_post_machine_init() completely. It can fix Bug 1 and Bug 2. The result shows that: (qemu) info numa 4 nodes node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 node 0 size: 256 MB node 1 cpus: 4 5 6 7 node 1 size: 256 MB node 2 cpus: node 2 size: 256 MB node 3 cpus: node 3 size: 256 MB (qemu) device_add qemu64-x86_64-cpu,id=cpu7,socket-id=2,core-id=0,thread-id=0 (qemu) info numa 4 nodes node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 node 0 size: 256 MB node 1 cpus: 4 5 6 7 node 1 size: 256 MB node 2 cpus: 8 node 2 size: 256 MB node 3 cpus: node 3 size: 256 MB (qemu) device_add qemu64-x86_64-cpu,id=cpu8,socket-id=3,core-id=0,thread-id=0 (qemu) info numa 4 nodes node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 node 0 size: 256 MB node 1 cpus: 4 5 6 7 node 1 size: 256 MB node 2 cpus: 8 node 2 size: 256 MB node 3 cpus: 12 node 3 size: 256 MB (qemu) device_del cpu5 (qemu) info numa 4 nodes node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 node 0 size: 256 MB node 1 cpus: 4 5 7 node 1 size: 256 MB node 2 cpus: 8 node 2 size: 256 MB node 3 cpus: 12 node 3 size: 256 MB Dou Liyang (3): cpu: Make the mapping of CPUs and NUMA nodes in cpu_common_realizefn numa: Remove the numa_post_machine_init function cpu: make the function of cpu_common_map_numa_node more efficiently include/sysemu/numa.h | 1 - numa.c | 15 --------------- qom/cpu.c | 16 ++++++++++++++++ vl.c | 2 -- 4 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) -- 2.5.5
