This is a first proposal for using steal time information to influence the scheduler. There are a lot of optimizations and fine grained adjustments to be done, but it is working reasonably so far for me (mostly) With this patch (and some host pinnings to demonstrate the situation), two vcpus with very different steal time (Say 80 % vs 1 %) will not get an even distribution of processes. This is a situation that can naturally arise, specially in overcommited scenarios. Previosly, the guest scheduler would wrongly think that all cpus have the same ability to run processes, lowering the overall throughput.
Looks fine, but sched maintainer review needed. -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function -- 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
