Subject: Cpupools and pdata_alloc
Date: Mon, 10 May 2010 12:47:51 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTin3dC9sCDP1-zwKog6BZtwaHAmkt53NqwAZtiNw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

It appears that in the new cpupools code:
* pdata_allocate is called from alloc_vcpu() with that cpu for the first time.
* this happens usually when dom0's cpus are allocated, as it cycles
through all of the cpus

This seems a bit strange to me.  Wouldn't it make more sense to pass,
or to make available, a cpumask of the cpus in a pool to the init
function?

Also, is there documentation of the cpupool lifecycle anywhere, to
help scheduler writers understand what's going on?
