virt-manager changes the value of 'Maximum allocation' of CPU improperly

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • virt-manager changes the value of "Maximum allocation" of CPU improperly when a guest OS starts up after changing the value of "Change allocation".
  • Due to this behavior, "Change allocation" can't be set up to the number of "Host CPUs".
  • Step to Reproduce:
    1. Check that a guest OS is stopping.
    # virsh list --inactive
    <Stopped guest(s) appear.>
    
    2. Open "virtual hardware details" of the stopped guest OS on virt-manager.
    
    3. Change the value of "Change allocation" to other value.
    
    4. Click "Apply" button.
    
    5. Start up the guest OS
    
    6. Check the value of "Maximum allocation" of CPU on "virtual hardware details"
    <"Maximum allocation" should be changed to some value.>
