[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#648323: Libvirt does not support numa

[Ralf Spenneberg]

Package: libvirt-bin
Version: 0.9.6-2

When using libvirt-bin on a numa-capable platform virsh cannot display
the capabilities.

# numactl --show
policy: default
preferred node: current
physcpubind: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
cpubind: 0 1 2 3
nodebind: 0 1 2 3
membind: 0 1 2 3

virsh does not display the numa information:
# virsh nodeinfo
CPU model: x86_64
CPU(s): 8
CPU frequency: 1000 MHz
CPU socket(s): 4
Core(s) per socket: 2
Thread(s) per core: 1
NUMA cell(s): 1
Memory size: 32948228 kB
# virsh freecell 0
error: this function is not supported by the connection driver: NUMA
memory information not available on this platform


I am currently running Debian Sid on
HP DL 585 G2 with 4 Dual Cores and thus 4 Numa cells.
