I should add that I am running under CentOS 7.3 with kernel version
3.10.0-514.6.2.

I need a container that supports real time threads. According to the
documentation, I can do something like this:
<domain type='lxc'>
<name>test1</name>
<uuid>e7446f55-3d59-4af0-90b2-d1498ac4370d</uuid>
...
<vcpu placement='auto'>2</vcpu>
<cputune>
<vcpusched vcpus='0-1' scheduler='fifo' priority='1'/>
</cputune>
...
</domain>
The document describes the vcpusched element as follows:
The optional |vcpusched| elements specifies the scheduler type (values
|batch|, |idle|, |fifo|, |rr|) for particular vCPU/IOThread threads
(based on |vcpus| and |iothreads|, leaving out |vcpus|/|iothreads|
sets the default). Valid |vcpus| values start at 0 through one less
than the number of vCPU's defined for the domain. Valid |iothreads|
values are described in the |iothreadids| |description|
<
https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsIOThreadsAllocation>.
If no |iothreadids| are defined, then libvirt numbers IOThreads from 1
to the number of |iothreads| available for the domain. For real-time
schedulers (|fifo|, |rr|), priority must be specified as well (and is
ignored for non-real-time ones). The value range for the priority
depends on the host kernel (usually 1-99).
So I *think* my xml is correct for this, but it doesn't seem to
work--I still can't create real time threads in my container. Am I
missing another configuration step somewhere?
