RE: [Xen-devel] Re: [PATCH] Qemu: Add sanity check for vcpu config 
| Keir,
Have you decided where should vcpu sanity check be located?
We add vcpu sanity check at qemu because:
1. xen/qemu itself has knowledge like HVM_MAX_VCPUS, xend doesn't have such 
knowledge;
2. there are many ways to transfer config/cmdline para to qemu, xm/xend is one 
of them which used at Xen. On other system like KVM, there is no xm/xend at 
all. So naturely qemu is a better place to do sanity check than xend;
3. even if we add sanity check at xend, qemu still need do sanity check. After 
all, qemu cannot totally trust its input;
Thanks,
Jinsong
