Subject: [Engine-devel] what does engine with cpuIdle?
hi,
I am trying to change a behavior in vdsm. When you pass 100% load on
a VM, it will stop reporting further load and will keep telling 100%
until the load drops under 100% again in it's cpuIdle information.
This is totally correct if you have only single-cpu VM's, but it is
false when you have multiple vcpu's, I think the cpuIdle information
should not be on a 0-100 scale, but on a 0-100*vcpus scale.
So I submitted this patch to vdsm:
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/7892/2
and Dan pointed out that some functionality may depend on the value
in the 0-100 interval. For me it seems it is ignored and the load is
calculated only from sysCpu + userCpu. Does anyone build on the
cpuIdle value?
Thanks,
Laszlo
you are right, engine doesn't save cpuIdle for vm,
so it's not in use in the engine.
