If the end-user specifies a cpu_realtime_mask that does not begin with a carat (i.e. it is not a purely-exclusion mask) it's likely that they're expecting us to use the exact mask that they have specified, not realizing that we default to all-vCPUs-are-RT. Let's make nova's behaviour a bit more friendly by correctly handling this scenario. Note that the end-user impact of this is minimal/non-existent. As discussed in bug #1884231, the only way a user could have used this before would be if they'd configured an emulator thread and purposefully set an invalid 'hw:cpu_realtime_mask' set. In fact, they wouldn't have been able to use this value at all if they used API microversion 2.86 (extra spec validation).

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
