Virtual CPU hotplug
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
A complete example of vCPU hotplug (and hot-unplug) using QMP
|
|
``device_add`` and ``device_del``.
|
|
|
|
vCPU hotplug
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
(1) Launch QEMU as follows (note that the "maxcpus" is mandatory to
|
|
allow vCPU hotplug)::
|
|
|
|
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -display none -no-user-config -m 2048 \
|
|
-nodefaults -monitor stdio -machine pc,accel=kvm,usb=off \
|
|
-smp 1,maxcpus=2 -cpu IvyBridge-IBRS \
|
|
-qmp unix:/tmp/qmp-sock,server=on,wait=off
|
|
|
|
(2) Run 'qmp-shell' (located in the source tree, under: "scripts/qmp/)
|
|
to connect to the just-launched QEMU::
|
|
|
|
$> ./qmp-shell -p -v /tmp/qmp-sock
|
|
[...]
|
|
(QEMU)
|
|
|
|
(3) Find out which CPU types could be plugged, and into which sockets::
|
|
|
|
(QEMU) query-hotpluggable-cpus
|
|
{
|
|
"execute": "query-hotpluggable-cpus",
|
|
"arguments": {}
|
|
}
|
|
{
|
|
"return": [
|
|
{
|
|
"type": "IvyBridge-IBRS-x86_64-cpu",
|
|
"vcpus-count": 1,
|
|
"props": {
|
|
"socket-id": 1,
|
|
"core-id": 0,
|
|
"thread-id": 0
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
"qom-path": "/machine/unattached/device[0]",
|
|
"type": "IvyBridge-IBRS-x86_64-cpu",
|
|
"vcpus-count": 1,
|
|
"props": {
|
|
"socket-id": 0,
|
|
"core-id": 0,
|
|
"thread-id": 0
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
(QEMU)
|
|
|
|
(4) The ``query-hotpluggable-cpus`` command returns an object for CPUs
|
|
that are present (containing a "qom-path" member) or which may be
|
|
hot-plugged (no "qom-path" member). From its output in step (3), we
|
|
can see that ``IvyBridge-IBRS-x86_64-cpu`` is present in socket 0,
|
|
while hot-plugging a CPU into socket 1 requires passing the listed
|
|
properties to QMP ``device_add``::
|
|
|
|
(QEMU) device_add id=cpu-2 driver=IvyBridge-IBRS-x86_64-cpu socket-id=1 core-id=0 thread-id=0
|
|
{
|
|
"execute": "device_add",
|
|
"arguments": {
|
|
"socket-id": 1,
|
|
"driver": "IvyBridge-IBRS-x86_64-cpu",
|
|
"id": "cpu-2",
|
|
"core-id": 0,
|
|
"thread-id": 0
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
{
|
|
"return": {}
|
|
}
|
|
(QEMU)
|
|
|
|
(5) Optionally, run QMP `query-cpus-fast` for some details about the
|
|
vCPUs::
|
|
|
|
(QEMU) query-cpus-fast
|
|
{
|
|
"execute": "query-cpus-fast",
|
|
"arguments": {}
|
|
}
|
|
{
|
|
"return": [
|
|
{
|
|
"qom-path": "/machine/unattached/device[0]",
|
|
"target": "x86_64",
|
|
"thread-id": 11534,
|
|
"cpu-index": 0,
|
|
"props": {
|
|
"socket-id": 0,
|
|
"core-id": 0,
|
|
"thread-id": 0
|
|
},
|
|
"arch": "x86"
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
"qom-path": "/machine/peripheral/cpu-2",
|
|
"target": "x86_64",
|
|
"thread-id": 12106,
|
|
"cpu-index": 1,
|
|
"props": {
|
|
"socket-id": 1,
|
|
"core-id": 0,
|
|
"thread-id": 0
|
|
},
|
|
"arch": "x86"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
(QEMU)
|
|
|
|
vCPU hot-unplug
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
From the 'qmp-shell', invoke the QMP ``device_del`` command::
|
|
|
|
(QEMU) device_del id=cpu-2
|
|
{
|
|
"execute": "device_del",
|
|
"arguments": {
|
|
"id": "cpu-2"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
{
|
|
"return": {}
|
|
}
|
|
(QEMU)
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
vCPU hot-unplug requires guest cooperation; so the ``device_del``
|
|
command above does not guarantee vCPU removal -- it's a "request to
|
|
unplug". At this point, the guest will get a System Control
|
|
Interrupt (SCI) and calls the ACPI handler for the affected vCPU
|
|
device. Then the guest kernel will bring the vCPU offline and tell
|
|
QEMU to unplug it.
