Per my info, some machines, e.g. Haswell, do not officially support CAT but you can enable CAT through some actions. On these machines, you may encounter such issue.
Per SDM, we do not have such limitation. Per my test on SKL, 1 bit setting works well. > > > + - Member `dom_ids` > > + > > + `dom_ids` is a bitmap, every bit corresponds to a domain.

If you think it is still not clear, I may add your explanation: ", which has all 1s in CBM, " _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org https://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
