Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH RFC 0/2] Add guest cpu entitlement reporting
Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2012 18:15:11 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120823231454.11904.35222.stgit@lambeau> (raw)

User can be confused by stealtime when running a guest in either a capped or
overcommitted cpu environment.  The user has concerns that they are not 
receiving their full cpu allotment when steal time shows up in the accounting 
tools.  So add a cpu entitlement.  This entitlement will be used to compute the
amount of steal time display by the accounting tools. 

Michael Wolf (2):
      The cpu entitlement value will be passed to qemu as part of the cpu 
      parameters.

      Add an ioctl to pass the entitlement information from qemu to the 
      hypervisor.
