RE: [Xen-devel] Unable to set dom0 vcpu to 1

["Carb, Brian A" <Brian.Carb@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Ryan,

We're still seeing this problem as of changeset 10333 (which I believe
includes that patch). 

It seems as if the "vcpus" value as shown by "xm list --long 0" command
is getting set to 8, even when we boot dom0 with 16procs. In fact, vcpus
is still set to 8 even if we boot hyperthreaded to a 32x. Since the
release of procs with vcpu-set seems to key off this value, we can never
release more than 7.

There was a recent patch dealing with hotplug cpu and rcu sent to the
list by Harry Butterworth.  I think it has been committed yet but you
will probably want to try again with that patch.
