[PATCH 00/10] Support hypervisor-threads-pin in vcpupin.

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

 



Hi~

Users can use vcpupin command to bind a vcpu thread to a specific physical cpu.
But besides vcpu threads, there are alse some other threads created by qemu 
(known as hypervisor threads) that could not be explicitly bound to physical cpus.

This 10 patches implemented hypervisor threads binding, in two ways:
  1) Use sched_setaffinity() function;
  2) In cpuset cgroup.


A new xml element is introduced, and vcpupin command is improved, see below.

1. Introduce new xml elements:
  <cputune>
    ......
    <hypervisorpin cpuset='1'/>
  </cputune>


2. Improve vcpupin command to support hypervisor threads binding.

For example, vm1 has the following configuration:
  <cputune>
    <vcpupin vcpu='1' cpuset='1'/>
    <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='0'/>
    <hypervisorpin cpuset='1'/>
  </cputune>

  1) query all threads pining

     # vcpupin vm1
     VCPU: CPU Affinity
     ----------------------------------
        0: 0
        1: 1

     Hypervisor: CPU Affinity
     ----------------------------------
        *: 1

  2) query hypervisor threads pining only

     # vcpupin vm1 --hypervisor
     Hypervisor: CPU Affinity
     ----------------------------------
        *: 1

  3) change hypervisor threads pining

     # vcpupin vm1 --hypervisor 0-1

     # vcpupin vm1 --hypervisor
     Hypervisor: CPU Affinity
     ----------------------------------
        *: 0-1

     # taskset -p 397
     pid 397's current affinity mask: 3


Note: If users want to pin a vcpu thread to pcpu, --vcpu option could no longer be omitted.
