Subject: [PATCH] qemu: Set up EMULATOR thread and cpuset.mems before
c480ed
 exec()-ing qemu
c480ed
c480ed
It's funny how this went unnoticed for such a long time. Long
c480ed
story short, if a domain is configured with
c480ed
VIR_DOMAIN_NUMATUNE_MEM_STRICT libvirt doesn't really honour
c480ed
that. This is because of 7e72ac787848 after which libvirt allowed
c480ed
qemu to allocate memory just anywhere and only after that it used
c480ed
some magic involving cpuset.memory_migrate and cpuset.mems to
c480ed
move the memory to desired NUMA nodes. This was done in order to
c480ed
work around some KVM bug where KVM would fail if there wasn't a
c480ed
DMA zone available on the NUMA node. Well, while the work around
c480ed
might stopped libvirt tickling the KVM bug it also caused a bug
c480ed
on libvirt side: if there is not enough memory on configured NUMA
c480ed
node(s) then any attempt to start a domain must fail. Because of
c480ed
the way we play with guest memory domains can start just happily.
c480ed
c480ed
The solution is to move the child we've just forked into emulator
c480ed
cgroup, set up cpuset.mems and exec() qemu only after that.
c480ed
c480ed
This basically reverts 7e72ac787848b7434c9 which was a workaround
c480ed
for kernel bug. This bug was apparently fixed because I've tested
c480ed
this successfully with recent kernel.
