Hello all,
On a RHEL 6.4 server i created a vm with 2 VCPU and
expecting to see single process with 2 threads on host.
but
top -p "pid-of-qemu" -H
shows many threads randomly being created and
destroyed,"pid-of-qemu" remains the same but other threads' pid keep
on changing.
Can some one help me understand this better.I was in a belief that
virtual machine with 2 VCPU will have 2 threads,but sometimes total
thread count has reached upto 8.
top output from host when running multiple "dd"
11116 qemu 20 0 2480m 381m 4664 R 100.2 3.9 1:57.97

HT is ON on host.
Even Though total CPU consumed by first two threads are 200%,i don't
understand why there are these many extra threads
Thanks
