Re: [libvirt] [PATCHv2 1/2] Add a new flag VIR_DOMAIN_CPU_STATS_VCPU to virDomainGetCPUStats
On 04/24/2012 03:20 AM, Hu Tao wrote:
Currently virDomainGetCPUStats gets total cpu usage, which consists
of:
1. vcpu usage: the physical cpu time consumed by virtual cpu(s) of
domain
2. hypervisor: `total cpu usage' - `vcpu usage'
The flag VIR_DOMAIN_CPU_STATS_VCPU is for getting vcpu usages.

Question: is it better to make the user call virDomainGetCPUStats twice
(once for total with flags==0, once for vcpu with flags=VCPU), where
there is a race between the two calls? Or should we instead return both
counts in the same call, by having two separate virTypedParameter stat
names and no flag?
In other words, I'm thinking it might be better to keep "cpu_time"
(VIR_DOMAIN_CPU_STATS_CPUTIME) as the first stat, and add a second stat
"vcpu_time" (VIR_DOMAIN_CPU_STATS_VCPUTIME) as a second stat, all within
the same call, with no need to add a flag.

virsh would then automatically output both stats in one pass, and
wouldn't need a --vcpu flag.
The qemu_driver implementation would be mostly the same, but instead of
basing things off a flag, it would always grab both stats (total and
vcpu) at once.
