OpenStack Compute (nova)

Enable to share SR-IOV PCI devices between NUMA nodes

Registered by Sergey Nikitin

On two-sockets server (NUMA + SR-IOV environment) each NUMA cell has its own PCI devices. If some NUMA cell has no SR-IOV PCI device user can't boot a VM with SR-IOV support in this NUMA cell. Nova forbids to share PCI devices between NUMA cells for better performance. But this behavior leaves 2-sockets machines half-populated. User should have a choice and Nova behavior in this case should be configurable.
