I see. I thought the bug was about the UI failing to update the vcpus even
in a valid case because the topology verification in backend was wrong.

I believe we can make the Kimchi UI to show the topology attributes instead of
the maxvcpu values if the guest has a topology set.

About the "Please, also check why Kimchi is not getting in count the value
on guest XML." , I'll look into it.

Hi Daniel,

I am not sure this is the root cause of the issue.
I created a guest with topology and tried to change maxvcpus and vcpus values on UI and I got the same error reported on github.

The test I did:
- create a new guest with topology set
"cpu_info":{
    "maxvcpus":4,
    "vcpus":4,
    "topology":{
      "cores":2,
      "threads":2,
      "sockets":1
    }
  }

- try to change maxvcpus to 8
- try to change vcpus to 8





I believe the problem is because, on UI, there is no information about topology, only about maxvcpus and vcpus.
When user sets maxvcpus (and topology is set), the topology must be changed according to the new maxvcpus value.
We will need to update the UI to show and let the user change the topology instead of maxvcpus (as maxvcpus must be cores * threads * sockets).


Just to clarify, the exactly error described on #0172, happens when trying to increase vCPUS and max vCPUS at the same time as there is no other way (through kimchi) to change max vCPUS value to be allowed to increate the vCPUS number.

Also, when I tried to increase the max vCPUs for a given guest (by manually editing the topology on guest XML), Kimchi keeps displaying the older value.
So I needed to edit it again on Kimchi UI and everything worked fine.

Please, also check why Kimchi is not getting in count the value on guest XML.

Steps to reproduce:

- Create a guest with topology (cores: 2, thread: 2, sockets: 1)
- Edit the guest XML and change cores to 4 (that way maxvcpus will be 8)
- Open guest edit dialog.
- Max vCPUS shows 4 (instead of 8)

This patch changes the vcpu verification when
editing a turned off VM, if the VM has a topology
set, to comply with the current libvirt schema: vcpus
must be a multiple of the 'threads' value.

Unit tests were adapted to reflect these changes.
