Detailed Description

Enumeration Type Documentation

hwloc_restrict_flags_e

enum hwloc_restrict_flags_e

Flags to be given to hwloc_topology_restrict().

Enumerator
HWLOC_RESTRICT_FLAG_REMOVE_CPULESS	Remove all objects that became CPU-less. By default, only objects that contain no PU and no memory are removed.
HWLOC_RESTRICT_FLAG_ADAPT_MISC	Move Misc objects to ancestors if their parents are removed during restriction. If this flag is not set, Misc objects are removed when their parents are removed.
HWLOC_RESTRICT_FLAG_ADAPT_IO	Move I/O objects to ancestors if their parents are removed during restriction. If this flag is not set, I/O devices and bridges are removed when their parents are removed.

Function Documentation

hwloc_obj_add_other_obj_sets()

int hwloc_obj_add_other_obj_sets	(	hwloc_obj_t	dst,
		hwloc_obj_t	src
	)

Setup object cpusets/nodesets by OR'ing another object's sets.

For each defined cpuset or nodeset in src, allocate the corresponding set in dst and add src to it by OR'ing sets.

This function is convenient between hwloc_topology_alloc_group_object() and hwloc_topology_insert_group_object(). It builds the sets of the new Group that will be inserted as a new intermediate parent of several objects.

hwloc_topology_alloc_group_object()

hwloc_obj_t hwloc_topology_alloc_group_object

(

hwloc_topology_t

topology

)

Allocate a Group object to insert later with hwloc_topology_insert_group_object().

This function returns a new Group object. The caller should (at least) initialize its sets before inserting the object. See hwloc_topology_insert_group_object().

The subtype object attribute may be set to display something else than "Group" as the type name for this object in lstopo. Custom name/value info pairs may be added with hwloc_obj_add_info() after insertion.

The kind group attribute should be 0. The subkind group attribute may be set to identify multiple Groups of the same level.

It is recommended not to set any other object attribute before insertion, since the Group may get discarded during insertion.

The object will be destroyed if passed to hwloc_topology_insert_group_object() without any set defined.

hwloc_topology_insert_group_object()

hwloc_obj_t hwloc_topology_insert_group_object	(	hwloc_topology_t	topology,
		hwloc_obj_t	group
	)

Add more structure to the topology by adding an intermediate Group.

The caller should first allocate a new Group object with hwloc_topology_alloc_group_object(). Then it must setup at least one of its CPU or node sets to specify the final location of the Group in the topology. Then the object can be passed to this function for actual insertion in the topology.

The group dont_merge attribute may be set to prevent the core from ever merging this object with another object hierarchically-identical.

Either the cpuset or nodeset field (or both, if compatible) must be set to a non-empty bitmap. The complete_cpuset or complete_nodeset may be set instead if inserting with respect to the complete topology (including disallowed, offline or unknown objects).

It grouping several objects, hwloc_obj_add_other_obj_sets() is an easy way to build the Group sets iteratively.

These sets cannot be larger than the current topology, or they would get restricted silently.

The core will setup the other sets after actual insertion.

Returns

The inserted object if it was properly inserted.

An existing object if the Group was discarded because the topology already contained an object at the same location (the Group did not add any locality information). Any name/info key pair set before inserting is appended to the existing object.

NULL if the insertion failed because of conflicting sets in topology tree.

NULL if Group objects are filtered-out of the topology (HWLOC_TYPE_FILTER_KEEP_NONE).

NULL if the object was discarded because no set was initialized in the Group before insert, or all of them were empty.

hwloc_topology_insert_misc_object()

hwloc_obj_t hwloc_topology_insert_misc_object	(	hwloc_topology_t	topology,
		hwloc_obj_t	parent,
		const char *	name
	)

Add a MISC object as a leaf of the topology.

A new MISC object will be created and inserted into the topology at the position given by parent. It is appended to the list of existing Misc children, without ever adding any intermediate hierarchy level. This is useful for annotating the topology without actually changing the hierarchy.

name is supposed to be unique across all Misc objects in the topology. It will be duplicated to setup the new object attributes.

The new leaf object will not have any cpuset.

Returns

the newly-created object

NULL on error.

NULL if Misc objects are filtered-out of the topology (HWLOC_TYPE_FILTER_KEEP_NONE).

Note

If name contains some non-printable characters, they will be dropped when exporting to XML, see hwloc_topology_export_xml() in hwloc/export.h.

hwloc_topology_restrict()

int hwloc_topology_restrict	(	hwloc_topology_t restrict	topology,
		hwloc_const_cpuset_t	cpuset,
		unsigned long	flags
	)

Restrict the topology to the given CPU set.

Topology topology is modified so as to remove all objects that are not included (or partially included) in the CPU set cpuset. All objects CPU and node sets are restricted accordingly.

flags is a OR'ed set of hwloc_restrict_flags_e.

Note

This call may not be reverted by restricting back to a larger cpuset. Once dropped during restriction, objects may not be brought back, except by loading another topology with hwloc_topology_load().

Returns

0 on success.

-1 with errno set to EINVAL if the input cpuset is invalid. The topology is not modified in this case.

-1 with errno set to ENOMEM on failure to allocate internal data. The topology is reinitialized in this case. It should be either destroyed with hwloc_topology_destroy() or configured and loaded again.
