I think usage will go above the limit as long as there is free CPU cycles. How about trying this: - two VMs, once core each - bind your VM processes to certain core on host using taskset - use cgroups you described - run something that uses lots of CPU (cpuburn) on both VMs Now you should see that lower priority VM gets only its share. And if you stop CPU hog process in higher priority VM, lower priority will get more (ie. no hard limit). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
