Hi folks
I’v send the V1 version RFC early this week, but no reply yet.
Thanks Qiaowei for the comment, I’v change the RFC much more libvirt specify, please help
to comments on.
##Propose Changes
#Libvirtd configure changes
Add a new configure option cache_allocation_ratio to libvirtd, which let libvirt to
allocate how many cache to domains.
Default is 0.5
Eg.
On a host which has 55M cache, libvirt can allocate 55M * cache_allocation_ratio cache to
domains
## Virsh command line changes:
NAME
cachetune - control or query domain cache allocation
SYNOPSIS
cachetune <domain> [--enabled true/false] [--type <type>][--size
<number>] [--config] [--live] [--current]
DESCRIPTION
Allocate cache usage for domain.
OPTIONS
[--domain] <string> domain name, id or uuid
--enabled <true/false> enable cache allocation
--type <string> cache allocations type, support l3/l2 etc
--size <number> the cache size in KB
--config affect next boot
--live affect running domain
--current affect current domain
This will allow libvirt to allocate specify type l3 cache for a domain
Domain xml changes:
<cachetune>
<enabled=’yes’, size=4096, actual_size=4680,type=’l3’>
<enabled=’no’, size=256, actual_size=0, type=’l2’>
</cachetune>
