[libvirt] [PATCH 0/5] RFC: vcpuinfo, vcpupin: the feature to get CPU affinity information

[Taku Izumi]

Hi all,

This patchset improves the "virsh vcpupin" and "virsh vcpuinfo" command.
This is based on the following Eric's comment:
  http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-June/msg00500.html

We can use virDomainGetVcpus API to get it, but can't use 
this API against inactive domains (at least in case of KVM).
There is the companion API of this, whose name is virDomainGetVcpusFlags. 
However its signature is different from what everyone expect, so we can't
use this. 

This patchset introduces the new libvirt API to retrieve CPU affinity
information and adds the code to use new API.

To be specific, the following are changed.

 (i) "virsh vcpuinfo" comes to succeed in case of the target
     domain is inactive on KVM.

  # virsh domstate VM
  shut off
  # virsh vcpuinfo VM
  VCPU:           0
  CPU:            N/A
  State:          N/A
  CPU time        N/A
  CPU Affinity:   -yyyyyy--yyyyyyyyyyyy-------------------

  VCPU:           1
  CPU:            N/A
  State:          N/A
  CPU time        N/A
  CPU Affinity:   ----------y-----------------------------

  VCPU:           2
  CPU:            N/A
  State:          N/A
  CPU time        N/A
  CPU Affinity:   -----y---yyy---yyyyyy-------------------

  VCPU:           3
  CPU:            N/A
  State:          N/A
  CPU time        N/A
  CPU Affinity:   -y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y------------------------ 


  (ii) The --query option is added to virsh vcpupin command.
    
  # virsh vcpupin VM --query --config
  VCPU: CPU Affinity
  ----------------------------------
     0: 1-6,9-20
     1: 10
     2: 5,9-11,15-20
     3: 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15
