Hi,

Is there a dependency b/n<vcpu>  and<topology>  ?

There should be, but isn't yet.


Is specifying<vcpu>  mandatory for a SMP guest ?

No.


Can't I skip<vcpu>  but have<topology sockets= cores= threads=>  to
define a SMP guest ?

It should be possible, but isn't yet.


I see that if I skip<vcpu>, libvirt generates -smp 1 on qemu command
line which results in qemu booting a VM with single CPU irrespective
of the topology specified. Shouldn't libvirt arrive at correct CPU
count (vcpus=sockets*cores*threads ?) even if vcpu isn't specified
rather than defaulting to 1 ?
