0.11: SMP guests using one host CPU only?

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

 



On a 8 CPU host, I created a guest with 4 CPUs (-smp 4).

Unfortunately, the guest only uses one host CPU.
For example, running "cat /dev/urandom | gzip -9 >/dev/null &" several times on this guest causes load on only one host CPU.

Is it expected?

The host is running 2.6.32-rc5 and qemu-kvm-0.11. I also tried 2.6.31.5 with qemu-kvm-0.11 with the same result.


I have another machine, running 2.6.24 kernel, where it works just fine (running several CPU-intensive tasks on a guest result in several host CPUs being loaded).
