[Xen-devel] RFC: automatic NUMA placement

[Juergen Gross <juergen.gross@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I just stumbled upon the automatic pinning of vcpus on domain creation in
case of NUMA.
This behaviour is questionable IMO, as it breaks correct handling of
scheduling weights on NUMA machines.
I would suggest to switch this feature off per default and make it a
configuration option of xend. It would make sense, however, to change cpu pool
processor allocation to be NUMA-aware.
Switching NUMA off via boot option would remove NUMA-optimized memory
allocation, which would be sub-optimal :-)

What do you think?
