Subject: [PATCH v6 17/23] virt/steal_monitor: Provide default method to get systemwide steal time
Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2026 19:46:48 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701141654.500125-18-sshegde@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260701141654.500125-1-sshegde@linux.ibm.com>
steal monitor takes global view of steal time instead of individual
vCPU. For this collect overall steal values across all the vCPUs or
vCPUs of interest.
Default implementation chooses steal time across all active CPUs.
