[PATCH v2 0/3] hw/smbios: Cleanup topology related variables
Posted by Zhao Liu 11 months ago
From: Zhao Liu <zhao1.liu@intel.com>

Hi all,

This is my v2 patch series based on c76e7652c786 ("Revert 'python/qmp/
protocol: add open_with_socket()'").

Compared with v1 [1], v2 uses the different ways to calculate
threads_per_socket and cores_per_socket, and add the sanity check to
ensure consistency of results between these 2 ways, which can help us
not miss any future change of cpu topology.


Introduction
------------

This patchset is split from my previous hybrid topology RFC [2] for
easier review.

There are three places for topology-related cleanup:

1. Fix the use of smp.cores.

   The meaning of CPU topology members in MachineState.smp has changed
   since 003f230e37d7 ("machine: Tweak the order of topology members in
   struct CpuTopology"), but the use of smp.cores based on the original
   semantics (the number of cores in one package) has not been updated,
   so here is a cleanup.

2. Consolidate the use of MachineState.smp.

   The socket calculation can be simplified by directly using the
   MachineState.smp.sockets.

3. Fix thread count in type4.

   I also found that the definition of thread count in type4 doesn't
   match the spec (smbios 3.0.0) and cleaned it up as well.

Changelog:

Since v1:
 * Rename cpus_per_socket to threads_per_socket.
 * Calculate cores_per_socket in a different way from
   threads_per_socket.
 * Add the sanity check to ensure consistency of results between these 2
   ways.
