[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 1/1] ratelimit: Implement rate limit for credit2 scheduler Rate limit assures that a vcpu will execute for a minimum amount of time before being put at the back of a queue or being preempted by higher priority thread.



It introduces a minimum amount of latency to enable a VM to batch its work and
it also ensures that system is not spending most of its time in
VMEXIT/VMENTRY because of VM that is waking/sleeping at high rate.

ratelimit can be disabled by setting it to 0.

Changes in v2:
 * algo for time slice calculation based on ratelimit_us has changed.
 * initial value of prv->ratelimit_us.
 * other changes based on review comments.
