[Xen-devel] [PATCH 0/3] support multiple cpumasks in cpus parm

[Ryan Harper <ryanh@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Currently the cpus xm config option allows specify which physical cpus
a domains' vcpus' utilize.  However, the current mechanism restricts the
vcpus' cpumasks to one bit only.  This prevents the credit scheduler
from doing any balancing.  This set of patches adds support for
specifying multiple cpumasks in the cpus parameter.  I've also created a
new testcase for the cpus parameter which required some minor cleanup in
XmTestLib for extracting information from xm vcpu-list.

01_fixup_xmtest_getvcpuinfo.patch changes getVcpuInfo to provide full
dictionary of vcpu-list output.  Adds vcpu_to_cpu function which
provides what getVcpuInfo used to provide.  Changes tests to use
vcpu_to_cpu and getVcpuInfo where needed.

02_add_multiple_cpumask_support.patch adds support for specifying
multiple cpumasks in the cpus parameter.

03_add_create_cpus_parameter_testcase.patch adds a testcase for testing
the cpus parameter.

Patches apply against changeset:   11076:f328519053f5
Tested on x86_64, xm-test shows no regressions.
