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.
