Re: [Xen-devel] Question about the ability of credit scheduler to handle I/O and CPU intensive VMs

[Yuehai Xu <yuehaixu@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry for making noise, the mode is PV. Because my scheduler is set to
CPU fairness only, so the number I calculated is almost the same, as
long as I set it to I/O favor, the number is different.

Here is another question, since we always say a short period of time,
how long it should be? 500us? 50us? 1ms? is there any hint that I can
follow?

Thanks,
Yuehai
