[Xen-devel] [PATCH 0/4] xen: sched / cpupool: fixes and improvements, mostly for when suspend/resume is involved

[Dario Faggioli <dario.faggioli@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This is mostly about fixing bugs showing up during suspend/resume, with "non
default" configurations such as, pCPUs free from any cpupool, more than one
cpupool in the system, etc.

I tried a few different appoaches, for dealing with these cases. For instance,
I tried creating an 'idle cpupool', and then putting the free pCPUs there,
instead than sort-of parking them in cpupool0 (although in a special
condition), like we're doing now, but that introduces other issues.  I think
this series is, the least invasive, and yet correct, way of dealing with the
situation.

In some more detail:
 * patch 1 is just refactoring/beautifying dump output;
 * patch 2 is the fix for a bug showing up during resume, when two or more
   cpupools exist;
 * patch 3 fixes a bug (in the suspend/resume path again) and also improves
   Credit1 behavior, i.e., stops it from considering pCPUs that are outside
   of any pool as potential candidates where to execute vCPUs;
 * patch 4 is refactoring again, with the intent of making what made patch
   3 necessary less likely to happen! :-)

Thanks and Regards,
Dario
