[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 0/6] Allow hotplug of s390 CPUs


From: Matthew Rosato
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 0/6] Allow hotplug of s390 CPUs
Date: Thu, 18 Feb 2016 23:03:31 -0500

Changes from v4->v5:
* Patch #3 - Drop static next_cpu_id (Igor)
* Patch #4 - Drop register_cpustate in favor of machine hotplug handler.
  Re-write commit message as a result. (Igor)
* Patch #5 - Revive hotplug handler code from previous patch set.  Use 
  plug callback to update property links instead of register_cpustate. (Igor)
* Patch #6 - Use last_cpu instead of next_cpu_id to sanity-check hotplugged 
  CPU id (Igor)

**************

As discussed in the KVM call, we will go ahead with cpu_add for 
s390x to get cpu hotplug functionality in s390x now, until
architectures that require a more robust hotplug interface
settle on a design.

To configure a guest with 2 CPUs online at 
boot and 4 maximum:

qemu -smp 2,maxcpus=4

Or, when using libvirt:
  <domain>
    ...
    <vcpu current="2">4</vcpu>
    ...
  </domain> 


To subsequently hotplug a CPU:

Issue 'cpu-add <id>' from qemu monitor, or use virsh setvcpus --count <n> 
<domain>, where <n> is the total number of desired guest CPUs.

At this point, the guest must bring the CPU online for use -- This can be 
achieved via "echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online" or via a management 
tool like cpuplugd.

This patch set is based on work previously done by Jason Herne.

Matthew Rosato (6):
  s390x/cpu: Cleanup init in preparation for hotplug
  s390x/cpu: Set initial CPU state in common routine
  s390x/cpu: Move some CPU initialization into realize
  s390x/cpu: Add CPU property links
  s390/virtio-ccw: Add hotplug handler
  s390x/cpu: Allow hotplug of CPUs
