In that case, I'd suggest we make sure KVM is enabled before running this script, otherwise raise error (It won't make sense we pin the same TID for lots of times). I believe that's a prerequisite for this one. Thanks, -- peterx

Checking for TCG or KVM is not a good solution, as IIUC, multi-threaded TCG support is in the pipe? Regards, Maxime > Thanks, > > -- peterx >

This python script calls 'query-cpus' QMP command to retrieve vCPUs thread IDs. Thread IDs are then used by taskset to pin vCPUs to physical CPUs passed in command line. In case more vCPUs are present than the number of CPUs assigned in command line, multiple vCPUs get pinned to physical CPUs. Signed-off-by: Maxime Coquelin <maxime.coquelin@redhat.com> --- This script is not for production, where libvirt should be used. However, I find it useful during development, so I propose to share it as it might interest other people. Note: it seems that tcp socket support is broken with QMP class. The bug has already been reported and patch proposed[0]. So it has only been tested with UNIX socket.
