spec: https://review.opendev.org/668656
Agreements from the PTG:
How we will test it: * do functional test with libvirt driver, like the pinned cpu tests we have today * donyd's CI supports nested virt so we can do pinned cpu testing but not realtime. As this CI is still work in progress we should not block on this. * coverage inhttps://opendev.org/x/whitebox-tempest-pluginis a nice to have
Naming: use the 'shared' and 'dedicated' terminology
Support both the hw:pinvcpus=3 and the resources:PCPU=2 flavor extra specs syntaxtbut not in the same flavor. The resources:PCPU=2 syntax will have less expression power until nova models NUMA in placement. So nova will try to evenly distribute PCPUs between numa nodes. If it not possible we reject the request and ask the user to use the hw:pinvcpus=3 syntax.
Realtime mask is an exclusion mask, any vcpus not listed there has to be in the dedicated set of the instance.
TODOInvestigate whether we want to enable NUMA by default * Pros: Simpler, everything is NUMA by default * Cons: We'll either have to break/make configurablethe 1:1 guest:host NUMA mapping else we won't be able to boot e.g. a 40 core shared instance on a 40 core, 2 NUMA node host
