In this story we collect issues we're aware of in RHEL 9.4 while starting topology support on s390x on qemu-level, ref. RHEL-10577
Goal
- As an admin I would like to use libvirt to configure and manage topology of our KVM guests in order to improve their performance.
Known shortcomings
- Libvirt doesn't handle host configuration disparity during migrations but fails on qemu level, ref. RHEL-24843
- The commands 'virsh nodeinfo' and 'virsh capabilities' contain
- erroneous information about sockets
- no information about books and drawers
- The element //cpu/topology doesn't allow for drawers and books setting. Furthermore it allows for cluster, dies settings that are seemingly ignored by qemu-kvm and doesn't validate that threads must be 1 but failes when the VM starts.
- Libvirt setvcpus don't allow for determining where in the topology a VCPU should be added.
- Libvirt doesn't provide CPU stats for cgroupv2 (default)
