The range of 262144 is specific to cgroups (qemu and lxc); it is possible that some other hypervisor may add similar support for this parameter, but have a different range. Then again, we already documented it is specific to qemu and lxc, so we could update a change in range at the time of introducing the cpu_shares parameter to another hypervisor. However, your attempt is still wordy. Can we go with something more compact, as in: B<Note>: The cpu_shares parameter has a valid value range of 0-262144; negative values are wrapped to positive, and larger values are capped at the maximum. Therefore, -1 is a useful shorthand for 262144. -- Eric Blake eblake@xxxxxxxxxx +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
