All,

  Attached is the patch over qemu-2.4.1. I have tested this on Centos7.1 with CentOS VMs using KVM. I am not sure how it effects other platforms.

It adds a new parameter "-vcpu" to command line. The usage example is " -vcpu 0,affinity=20" (pin VCPU 0 to CPU ID 20). Please see if it helps you.

regards,

Ravi

I'm interested in that as well. Would you mind proposing your patch upstream?

Varun,

    I also have a similar requirement. I had patched the code over qemu 2.4.1 to add extra options to pin a VCPU to a physical CPU. I am not sure why this option is not there in qemu. (or I am not aware). If you use the taskset all the VCPU threads are getting same mask.

If you are interested, I can post the patch above qemu 2.4.1

Ravi
