[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1195170] [NEW] cpu hot-add doesn't work with upstream qemu 1.5.50

[chandrashekar shastri]

Public bug reported:

cpu hot-add doesn't work with upstream qemu 1.5.50. When we add the cpu
[through QMP] it throws error as " {"error": {"class": "GenericError",
"desc": "Unable to add CPU: 2, max allowed: 1"}} ", when we have booted
the guest with two cpus.

Host Kernel Version: 3.10.0-rc5+

Libvirt Version: 1.0.6

Qemu Version: 1.5.50

Guest Kernel : 2.6.32-358.6.1.el6.x86_64


Steps to Reproduce :

Boot the guest with : qemu-system-x86_64 -drive
file='/home/images/vm1.qcow2',format=qcow2,cache=none,boot=on -m 2048
-smp 2,cores=2,threads=1,sockets=1 -qmp tcp:localhost:4444,server
-monitor stdio -enable-kvm

Start the  telnet localhost 4444 on another shell

verify that there are two cpus :

I verified through HMP 
(qemu) info cpus 
* CPU #0: pc=0x000000000000f081 thread_id=2034
  CPU #1: pc=0x00000000000f6497 (halted) thread_id=2031

Hot add the CPU using the below command in QMP:

{ "execute": "cpu-add", "arguments": { "id": 2 } }
{"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "Unable to add CPU: 2, max allowed: 
1"}}

Notes:
--------
1. By default [without specifying the no of cpu], the guest boots up with 1 
cpu, when we try to add one more cpu, below is the error:

{ "execute": "cpu-add", "arguments": { "id": 1 } }
{"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "Unable to add CPU: 1, max allowed: 
0"}}

2. This issue is seen with or without enabling the KVM [i.e booting the
guest without -enable-kvm option]
