Subject: [PATCH v5 21/24] virt/steal_monitor: Provide default method to get num of CPUs for steal ratio
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 18:16:45 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260625124648.802832-22-sshegde@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260625124648.802832-1-sshegde@linux.ibm.com>
This method informs the steal_monitor core, how many CPUs it needs to
consider for steal ratio calculations.
steal_ratio = (delta_steal * 100 * 100) / (delta_ns * number_of_cpus);
Default method returns number of Active CPUs since it calculates steal
time across active CPUs.
