[PATCH v3 0/8] qemu: Enable SCHED_CORE for domains and helper processes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



v3 of:

https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2022-June/232595.html

diff to v2:
- Instead of opting out, the feature is disabled by default. Until we
  address CPU pinning (and other points I've raised in v2 cover letter)
  users might face a performance problems if this was turned on
  automagically.
- Introduced new 'vcpus' state, where only vCPUs are placed into a
  scheduling group, but not emulator nor any of helper processes.
- Reworked how helper processes are placed into scheduling group.
  Instead of placing them into the group after they were spawned, create
  a dummy child, let it create new group and then use
  virCommandRunAmong(). This covers also the case where a helper might
  have spawned more threads/child processes.
- As a result of this rework, we no longer need to expose getXXXPid()
  functions that I introduced in v2 (never merged them though).

Big thanks to Dan and Dario for their review and valuable inputs!
