From: Laurent Vivier <lviv...@redhat.com> On pseries, core-ids are strongly binded to a node-id by the command line option. If an user tries to add a CPU to the wrong node, he has an error but it is not really helpful:
qemu-system-ppc64 ... -smp 1,maxcpus=64,cores=1,threads=1,sockets=1 \ -numa node,nodeid=0 -numa node,nodeid=1 ... (qemu) device_add power9_v2.0-spapr-cpu-core,core-id=30,node-id=1 Error: node-id=1 must match numa node specified with -numa option This patch improves this error message by giving to the user the good node-id to use with the core-id he's providing Error: invalid node-id, must be 0 Signed-off-by: Laurent Vivier <lviv...@redhat.com> Message-Id: <20190529160747.778-1-lviv...@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Igor Mammedov <imamm...@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Eduardo Habkost <ehabk...@redhat.com> --- numa.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/numa.c b/numa.c index 3875e1efda..955ec0c830 100644 --- a/numa.c +++ b/numa.c @@ -470,8 +470,8 @@ void numa_cpu_pre_plug(const CPUArchId *slot, DeviceState *dev, Error **errp) "node-id", errp); } } else if (node_id != slot->props.node_id) { - error_setg(errp, "node-id=%d must match numa node specified " - "with -numa option", node_id); + error_setg(errp, "invalid node-id, must be %"PRId64, + slot->props.node_id); } } -- 2.18.0.rc1.1.g3f1ff2140
