Whee!! so cpu_mask (active_mask) does include 3, but the tl->mask()
doesn't.

This seems to suggest its the node topology being wrecked.

which with your code-base would be
cpu_node_mask()->sched_domain_node_span()..

Did you specify any node topology on the qemu command line? If not, it
should all reduce to cpumask_of_node(0).

identify_secondary_cpu()->identify_cpu()->numa_add_cpu() should set that
bit. which is well before the CPU_ONLINE->cpuset_update_active_cpus()
sched domain rebuild.


Most puzzling. Can you dig a little deeper as to why these masks might
be wrong? Also, can you reproduce on actual hardware? The reason I never
use kvm or other virt for debugging is that I always end up spending
time chasing virt bugs, and I hate virt..
