I found and try to fix a bug, which shows below. [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=8,sockets=2,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=0-1 \ -numa node,nodeid=1,cpus=2-3 \ -numa node,nodeid=2,cpus=4-5 \ -numa node,nodeid=3,cpus=6-7 \ -monitor stdio \ 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 * It is amazing that the cpus are all in node one. * Then, I used the "numactl -H" in the guest, and found that the mapping is right. So I guess it is not big problem, may has some bugs in the initialization. I followed the initialization process and found it out. [Solution] ---------- Ensure the numa_post_machine_init func in the appropriate location. After the patches: (qemu) info numa 4 nodes node 0 cpus: 0 1 node 0 size: 256 MB node 1 cpus: 2 3 node 1 size: 256 MB node 2 cpus: 4 5 node 2 size: 256 MB node 3 cpus: 6 7 node 3 size: 256 MB Dou Liyang (2): vl: Ensure the numa_post_machine_init func in the appropriate location vl: Ensure the cpu_synchronize_all_post_init func in the appropriate location vl.c | 9 +++++---- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) -- 2.5.5
