Date: Tue, 09 Dec 2014 18:35:05 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <548732C9.2020201@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <5470C514.3080307@6wind.com>
I had replied to this message, but my reply never got to the list.
Let's try again.
I wonder if this might be papering over a bug in the host cpufreq
driver. If the guest is not doing much and leaving a lot of idle CPU
time, the host should scale down the frequency of that CPU. In the case
of pinned VCPUs this should really "just work". What is the problem
that is being solved?
