From 8149e2992f7811355cc34721b79d69d1a3a667dd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Gibson Date: Sun, 2 Apr 2017 16:14:30 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] pseries: Enforce homogeneous threads-per-core For reasons that may be useful in future, CPU core objects, as used on the pseries machine type have their own nr-threads property, potentially allowing cores with different numbers of threads in the same system. If the user/management uses the values specified in query-hotpluggable-cpus as they're expected to do, this will never matter in pratice. But that's not actually enforced - it's possible to manually specify a core with a different number of threads from that in -smp. That will confuse the platform - most immediately, this can be used to create a CPU thread with index above max_cpus which leads to an assertion failure in spapr_cpu_core_realize(). For now, enforce that all cores must have the same, standard, number of threads.
