[pve-devel] qemu-server: cgroups && cpu.shares implementation

[Alexandre DERUMIER]

>>Another way could be use launch qemu with systemd-run, I think we can specify cgroup (slice in systemd) directly. 

for example:

systemd-run --remain-after-exit --slice=qemu --unit=100 -p CPUShares=499 /usr/bin/kvm -id 100 ....


Seem better than hacking qemu ?

Another way could be use launch qemu with systemd-run, I think we can specify cgroup (slice in systemd) directly.

Yes, I think it should work, if we put the pid of the forked process in cgroups. 

Other child threads should go automaticaly to the parent cgroup. 
I have done tests with hotplug virtio-net with vhost threads, or iothread drive, 
and their threads pid go to the cgroup.

Not tested but what about this: 

fork() 
# in child 
put current pid into cgroup 
exec kvm 

# parent 
... 

<= wouldn't this put all threads kvm creates automatically into the 
right cgroup?
