Re: [Xen-devel] [v7 PATCH 03/10] xen: derive NUMA node affinity from hard and soft CPU affinity



On 06/10/2014 01:44 AM, Dario Faggioli wrote:
if a domain's NUMA node-affinity (which is what controls
memory allocations) is provided by the user/toolstack, it
just is not touched. However, if the user does not say
anything, leaving it all to Xen, let's compute it in the
following way:

  1. cpupool's cpus & hard-affinity & soft-affinity
  2. if (1) is empty: cpupool's cpus & hard-affinity

This guarantees memory to be allocated from the narrowest
possible set of NUMA nodes, ad makes it relatively easy to
set up NUMA-aware scheduling on top of soft affinity.

Note that such 'narrowest set' is guaranteed to be non-empty.

Chenges from v6:
  * fixed a bug when a domain was being created inside a
    cpupool;

This definitely should have erased the Reviewed-by, as it implies I reviewed the bug fix.

  * coding style.

Changes from v3:
  * avoid pointless calls to cpumask_clear(), as requested
    during review;
  * ASSERT() non emptyness of cpupool & hard affinity, as
    suggested during review.

Changes from v2:
  * the loop computing the mask is now only executed when
    it really is useful, as suggested during review;
  * the loop, and all the cpumask handling is optimized,
    in a way similar to what was suggested during review.

Also, just curious, did you rename these variables since the last series?
