So perform zero-check (default the value to 1 if zeroed) for -smp dies before using it to calculate other parameters.OK, dies=0 may make some sense for a user that doesn't want to describe dies. Reviewed-by: Andrew Jones <drjones@redhat.com>But... this is the pc smp parse function, not the general one, so maybe my comment from patch 1 should apply here as well, which is, that dies=0 should be an error rather than silently changed to dies=1.Also, after reading Daniel's comment on a later patch, I think anything=0 should just be an error, even for the general parser.
Ok, after reading comments in patch #1, I also agree with this solution. We can reject the "anything = 0" configuration in advance in function machine_smp_parse(). I will do it in v2. BTW, I have converted smp_parse() into a generic helper allowing future extension for new arch-specific parameters, as you have suggested. So that we don't need to maintain duplicated parsing code any more. Thanks, Yanan .
