Binding resource pools to zones

Binding resource pools to zones

[Po Lu]

Illumos has lost the capacity to bind resource pools to zones, whether
with `dedicated-cpu' or with expressly defined pools:

% zoneadm -z ksun boot
zone 'ksun': Could not bind zone to pool: System error
zone 'ksun': dedicated-cpu setting cannot be instantiated

% zoneadm -z ksun export
create -b
set zonepath=/rpool/zones/ksun
set brand=ipkg
set ip-type=exclusive
add net
set physical="vnic1"
end
add dedicated-cpu
set ncpus=32
end

The culprit appears to be:

  14407 unix, genunix partial warning cleanup

which introduces a `default' clause, so that pool_do_bind always returns
EINVAL when ioctl (..., POOL_BIND, ...) is issued specifying a zone with
running processes.
