1. UI calls GET host/cpuinfo curl -k -u user -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -H 'Accept: application/json' https://localhost:8001/host/cpuinfo { "cores":2, "threading_enabled":true, "sockets":1, "threads_per_core":2 } 2. UI displays appropriate title and checkboxes - For both arches (based on Aline's suggestion), include a checkbox that says, "Configure vCPU topology manually." If checked, two fields appear, labeled, 'cores,' and 'threads.' For the threads box, have another dropdown that's the same in theory as the SMTX choices: a drop-down of 1, 2, 4, 8 (depending on the threads_per_socket value). Can the 'cores' box have a hover hint that lists the max? Since sockets will never be more than one, let's list it as a static placeholder (or leave it off completely). Checking this box will make the CPU box inactive, and the CPU number should now be calculated by the UI: CPUs = cores * threads (from the new boxes). - If that manual tickbox isn't selected: - Display the same box for CPUs as before. - Display a menu labled SMT (Power)/Hyper-Threads (x86) with up to five selections: Automatic, 1, 2, 4, 8. The max SMT value displayed will be dependant upoon threads_per_core from above. The default option should be 'Automatic.' For 'Automatic,' send in '0' for the threads value (#3 below). Otherwise, pass the threads selection value (#3 below). Note: This is more architecture-agnostic. The only difference is the label. I'm in favor of keeping SMT somewhere in the screen for Power, since that is how users traditionally think of this, and will look for it. 3. UI calls POST template with threads value set to '0' (x86) or SMTX (Power) Note that vcpus is still optional, so no change in how that's handled needs to be done. $ curl -k -u user -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Accept: application/json' https://localhost:8001/templates -d'{"name": "test_auto_topo", "cdrom": "/home/iso-pool/Fedora-Live-Desktop-x86_64-20-1.iso", "cpu_info": {"topology": {"threads":0}}}' { "cpus":1, "cpu_info":{ "topology":{ "cores":1, "threads":1, "sockets":1 } }, "graphics":{ "type":"vnc", "listen":"127.0.0.1" }, "cdrom":"/home/iso-pool/Fedora-Live-Desktop-x86_64-20-1.iso", "networks":[ "default" ], "icon":"images/icon-fedora.png", "os_distro":"fedora", "name":"test_auto_topo", "disks":[ { "index":0, "size":10 } ], "invalid":{}, "os_version":"20", "storagepool":"/storagepools/default", "memory":1024, "folder":[] } Christy Perez (1): Parts to allow Kimchi to configure the cpu topology. docs/API.md | 28 ++++++ src/kimchi/API.json | 11 +-- src/kimchi/control/cpuinfo.py | 37 ++++++++ src/kimchi/control/host.py | 2 + src/kimchi/i18n.py | 6 +- src/kimchi/model/cpuinfo.py | 215 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/kimchi/model/host.py | 2 +- src/kimchi/model/templates.py | 25 +++-- 8 files changed, 309 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/kimchi/control/cpuinfo.py create mode 100644 src/kimchi/model/cpuinfo.py -- 1.9.3
