On pseries, core-ids are strongly binded to a node-id by the command line option. If an user tries to add a CPU to the wrong node, he has an error but it is not really helpful:

(qemu) device_add power9_v2.0-spapr-cpu-core,core-id=30,node-id=1 Error: node-id=1 must match numa node specified with -numa option This patch improves this error message by giving to the user the good topology information (node-id, socket-id and thread-id if they are available) to use with the core-id he's providing: Error: node-id=1 must match numa node specified with -numa option 'node-id 0' Signed-off-by: Laurent Vivier <lviv...@redhat.com> --- Notes: v3: only add the topology to the existing message As suggested by Igor replace Error: core-id 30 can only be plugged into node-id 0 by Error: node-id=1 must match numa node specified with -numa option 'node-id 0' v2: display full topology in the error message numa.c | 25 ++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 24 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/numa.c b/numa.c index 3875e1efda3a..7882ec294be4 100644 --- a/numa.c +++ b/numa.c @@ -458,6 +458,27 @@ void qmp_set_numa_node(NumaOptions *cmd, Error **errp) set_numa_options(MACHINE(qdev_get_machine()), cmd, errp); } +static char *cpu_topology_to_string(const CPUArchId *cpu) +{ + GString *s = g_string_new(NULL); + if (cpu->props.has_socket_id) { + g_string_append_printf(s, "socket-id %"PRId64, cpu->props.socket_id); + } + if (cpu->props.has_node_id) { + if (s->len) { + g_string_append_printf(s, ", "); + } + g_string_append_printf(s, "node-id %"PRId64, cpu->props.node_id); + } + if (cpu->props.has_thread_id) { + if (s->len) { + g_string_append_printf(s, ", "); + } + g_string_append_printf(s, "thread-id %"PRId64, cpu->props.thread_id); + } + return g_string_free(s, false); +} + void numa_cpu_pre_plug(const CPUArchId *slot, DeviceState *dev, Error **errp) { int node_id = object_property_get_int(OBJECT(dev), "node-id", &error_abort); @@ -470,8 +491,10 @@ void numa_cpu_pre_plug(const CPUArchId *slot, DeviceState *dev, Error **errp) "node-id", errp); } } else if (node_id != slot->props.node_id) { + char *topology = cpu_topology_to_string(slot); error_setg(errp, "node-id=%d must match numa node specified " - "with -numa option", node_id); + "with -numa option '%s'", node_id, topology); + g_free(topology); } } -- 2.20.1
