Subject: [PATCH v6 19/23] virt/steal_monitor: Provide default method to get num of CPUs for steal ratio
Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2026 19:46:50 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701141654.500125-20-sshegde@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260701141654.500125-1-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.

v5->v6:
- Add cpus_read_lock() for hotplug safety.
