Something like that would be better. Of course you'd need to measure work done in the domUs as well, as one of the critical factors for this patch would be how it affects fairness. It's one reason I'm leery of this patch -- our scheduler is unpredictable enough as it is without giving domains another lever to pull! -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel |
