Lets we have 3 guests A, B, C that need to be rate limited to 25% on a single cpu system. We create this idle guest D that is 100% cpu hog as per above definition. Now when one of the guest is idle, what ensures that the idle cycles of A is given only to D and not partly to B/C? - vatsa -- 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
