Hi,
I saw strange information about CPU Affinity as follows.
My machine has two physical CPUs. When I set CPU Affinity with both
existing physical CPU numbers and non-existing physical CPU numbers,
the information of CPU Affinity occasionally was "any cpu".
# xm info | grep nr_cpus
nr_cpus : 2
# xm vcpu-pin vm1 0 1
# xm vcpu-list vm1
Name ID VCPU CPU State Time(s) CPU Affinity
vm1 6 0 1 -b- 33.6 1
# xm vcpu-pin vm1 0 1-2
# xm vcpu-list vm1
Name ID VCPU CPU State Time(s) CPU Affinity
vm1 6 0 1 -b- 33.6 any cpu <--
Why?
# xm debug-key q
# xm dmesg

(XEN) VCPU information and callbacks for domain 6:
(XEN) VCPU0: CPU1 [has=F] flags=1 upcall_pend = 00, upcall_mask = 00
dirty_cpus={} cpu_affinity={1-2}
(XEN) 100 Hz periodic timer (period 10 ms)
(XEN) Notifying guest (virq 1, port 0, stat 0/-1/0)
# xm vcpu-pin vm1 0 1,3
# xm vcpu-list vm1

I investigated a cause why strange information was shown. The following
line had the cause.

@@ -1096,7 +1096,7 @@ def xm_vcpu_list(args):
# normalize cpumap by modulus nr_cpus, and drop duplicates
cpumap = dict.fromkeys(
- map(lambda x: x % nr_cpus, cpumap)).keys()
+ filter(lambda x: x < nr_cpus, cpumap)).keys()
if len(cpumap) == nr_cpus:
return "any cpu"
Because the line makes cpumap by using results of "x % nr_cpus",
non-existing physical CPU numbers are handled as existing physical CPU
numbers.
- 1 % 2 --> Physical CPU number 1
- 2 % 2 --> Physical CPU number 0
- 3 % 2 --> Physical CPU number 1
- 4 % 2 --> Physical CPU number 0
This patch removes non-existing physical CPU numbers from cpumap by
filter(), then this problem is solved.
