Hi Babu, Hopefully this will help you reproduce the issue if you are testing on Milan/Genoa. Joao (CC'd) pointed out this warning to me late last year, while I was working on patches for encoding the topology CPUID leaf in different Zen platforms. What I found from my experiments on Milan, is that the warning will appear whenever the NUMA topology requested in QEMU cmdline assigns a number of CPUs to each node that is smaller than the default # of CPUs sharing a LLC on the host platform. In short, on a Milan host where we have 16 CPUs sharing a CCX: # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/shared_cpu_list 0-7,128-135 If a guest is launched with the following arguments: -cpu host,+topoext \ -smp cpus=64,cores=32,threads=2,sockets=1 \ -numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0-7 -numa node,nodeid=1,cpus=8-15 \ -numa node,nodeid=2,cpus=16-23 -numa node,nodeid=3,cpus=24-31 \ -numa node,nodeid=4,cpus=32-39 -numa node,nodeid=5,cpus=40-47 \ -numa node,nodeid=6,cpus=48-55 -numa node,nodeid=7,cpus=56-63 \ it assigns 8 cpus to each NUMA node, causing the error above to be displayed. Note that ultimately the guest topology is built based on the NUMA information, so the LLC domains on the guest only end up spanning a single NUMA node. e.g.: # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/shared_cpu_list 0-7 Hope that helps, Alejandro > > >> >>> Igor Mammedov (2): >>> x86: cpu: make sure number of addressable IDs for processor cores >>> meets the spec >>> x86: cpu: fixup number of addressable IDs for logical processors >>> sharing cache >>> >>> target/i386/cpu.c | 20 ++++++++++++++++---- >>> 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) >>>

In short, on a Milan host where we > have 16 CPUs sharing a CCX: Yes. I recreated the issue with this following command line. #qemu-system-x86_64 -name rhel8 -m 4096 -hda vdisk.qcow2 -enable-kvm -net nic -nographic -machine q35,accel=kvm -cpu host,+topoext -smp 16,sockets=1,dies=1,cores=16,threads=1 -object memory-backend-ram,id=ram-node0,size=2G -object memory-backend-ram,id=ram-node1,size=2G -numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0-7,memdev=ram-node0 -numa node,nodeid=1,cpus=8-15,memdev=ram-node1 But solving this will be bit complicated. For AMD, this information comes from CPUID 0x8000001d. But, when this cpuid is being populated we don't have all the information about numa nodes etc.. But you can work-around it by modifying the command line by including dies(dies=2 in this case) information. Something like this. #qemu-system-x86_64 -name rhel8 -m 4096 -hda vdisk.qcow2 -enable-kvm -net nic -nographic -machine q35,accel=kvm -cpu host,+topoext,host-cache-info=on -smp 16,sockets=1,dies=2,cores=8,threads=1 -object memory-backend-ram,id=ram-node0,size=2G -object memory-backend-ram,id=ram-node1,size=2G -numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0-7,memdev=ram-node0 -numa node,nodeid=1,cpus=8-15,memdev=ram-node1 But this may not be acceptable solution in all the cases. > > # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/shared_cpu_list > 0-7,128-135 > > If a guest is launched with the following arguments: > > -cpu host,+topoext \ > -smp cpus=64,cores=32,threads=2,sockets=1 \ > -numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0-7 -numa node,nodeid=1,cpus=8-15 \ > -numa node,nodeid=2,cpus=16-23 -numa node,nodeid=3,cpus=24-31 \ > -numa node,nodeid=4,cpus=32-39 -numa node,nodeid=5,cpus=40-47 \ > -numa node,nodeid=6,cpus=48-55 -numa node,nodeid=7,cpus=56-63 \ > > it assigns 8 cpus to each NUMA node, causing the error above to be > displayed. > > Note that ultimately the guest topology is built based on the NUMA > information, so the LLC domains on the guest only end up spanning a > single NUMA node. e.g.: > > # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/shared_cpu_list > 0-7 > > Hope that helps, > Alejandro >> >> >>> >>>> Igor Mammedov (2): >>>> x86: cpu: make sure number of addressable IDs for processor cores >>>> meets the spec >>>> x86: cpu: fixup number of addressable IDs for logical processors >>>> sharing cache >>>> >>>> target/i386/cpu.c | 20 ++++++++++++++++---- >>>> 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) >>>> > -- Thanks Babu Moger

Something like this. Makes sense; using dies=2 makes it so the cache topology leaf is built with 8cores/CCX, matching the # of NUMA nodes so all is well. > > #qemu-system-x86_64 -name rhel8 -m 4096 -hda vdisk.qcow2 -enable-kvm -net > nic -nographic -machine q35,accel=kvm -cpu > host,+topoext,host-cache-info=on -smp > 16,sockets=1,dies=2,cores=8,threads=1 -object > memory-backend-ram,id=ram-node0,size=2G -object > memory-backend-ram,id=ram-node1,size=2G -numa > node,nodeid=0,cpus=0-7,memdev=ram-node0 -numa > node,nodeid=1,cpus=8-15,memdev=ram-node1 > > But this may not be acceptable solution in all the cases. This is not specific to host-cache-info behavior so it is probably better to discuss it separately. With that being said... The idea that I considered was to automatically calculate a value of 'dies' iff a explicit value was not requested via the '-smp' options, instead of just using the current default of dies=1. i.e. automatically mimic the host cache topology in the guest so that if we are running on Rome, the guest OS sees 4cores/CCX, but when running on Milan it sees 8cores/CCX. This can be done by querying the host CPUID and using that info to build the guest CPUID leaf in QEMU, similar to what Igor is doing here but also adjusting the number of dies that is encoded. I built prototype code that seemed to work correctly, but did not consider the complication added by '-numa' options. I think there is a much larger debate involved about what defaults are "sane", so rather than derailing this thread more, I'll send a follow up message in the future when I can take another look at the prototype patches I have.
