This series defines a descriminating value for each scheduler paramter
and uses it to fix a warning when starting a guest:
"Cpu weight out of range, valid values are within range from 1 to 65535"
It also cleans up a few things and adds some convience interfaces for
cpupools.
I'm slightly reticent about this change during the freeze, but since
it fixes a warning which needs to be fixed for release and makes
(useful, I think) changes to the libxl API I think it is ok.

This takes into account cpupools. Add a helper to get the info for a single cpu pool, refactor libxl_list_cpupool t use this. While there fix the leaks due to not disposing the partial list on realloc failure in that function. Fix the failure of sched_domain_output to free the poolinfo list.

There's just the thing about shoving all the various schedulers' parameters into one struct. One fall-out from it is that if you specify weight in your config file (or during domain creation), it will set the weight for credit or credit2, but use the defaults for sedf. This might be nice; but we're implicitly baking in an assumption that parameters with the same name have to have roughly similar meanings across all schedulers. Furthermore, if someone sets a "cap" in the config file, for example, but starts the VM in a pool running credit2, should we really just silently ignore it, or should we alert the user in some way? In any case, this patch only takes things half-way. If we're really going to have One Struct to Rule Them All, we don't need different domain_set/domain_get functions for the different schedulers -- we just need a libxl_sched_domain_get(), which will both figure out what scheduler the domain is running, and fill in the appropriate parameters, and a libxl_sched_domain_set(), which will check to see that you've asked for the right scheduler (or marked "unknown" if you aren't afraid), and set what it can set. We could also have a unified "xl sched" command that would set various parameters without the user having to know what scheduler was currently running (perhaps throwing a warning if you're trying to set a parameter that doesn't exist for that scheduler). I'm not really sure which way I think is best. I can see the advantage of not having to know which scheduler is actually running, but I'm a bit wary of baking in assumptions about the equivalence of parameters; it seems like it could lead to some nasty surprises. But I think whichever way we choose, we should take it to its logical conclusion. Which in the "One Struct" way, would mean having a single domain_get/domain_set function, and in the "separate struct" way would probably mean specifying the scheduler -- i.e., "credit_weight", "credit2_weight" or something like that. (Obviously we need xm compatibility, but we can throw a warning to encourage people to change their config files.) -George > > diff -r 7d8428388b77 -r b6221bcdf9a9 tools/libxl/libxl.c > --- a/tools/libxl/libxl.c Wed May 23 10:11:59 2012 +0100 > +++ b/tools/libxl/libxl.c Wed May 23 10:21:05 2012 +0100 > @@ -3199,19 +3199,19 @@ libxl_scheduler libxl_get_scheduler(libx > } > > int libxl_sched_credit_domain_get(libxl_ctx *ctx, uint32_t domid, > - libxl_sched_credit_domain *scinfo) > + libxl_sched_domain_params *scinfo) > { > struct xen_domctl_sched_credit sdom;

So xl should query the scheduler for the pool which has been specified in the config and parse the appropriate options? That seems doable. At the libxl level I think this would end up being a KeyedUnion in the build info, selecting the appropriate per-sched params struct.
