Hi techs,
Could you please explain or refer me to documentation where I could find a
description of global_quota schedinfo option. Someone told me that it could
mean a cpu limitation in percents like:
global_quota : 25000 (does it mean cpu limit % set to 25 ?)
Is it true?
What other parameters mean in below output?
I didn't find any related documentation at libvirt.org.
Could you help me to describe me or refer to some description what below
schedinfo options mean? Thanks.

The _quota values are relative to the _period, both in milliseconds and refer
to the cumulative CPU time available to all the processes/threads in a group.
See the documentation in the kernel:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/D...
So with global_period being set to 100000, a value of 25000 would mean
that all the threads of the virtual machine would be limited to use at
most 25 % of 1 CPU.
Is it true?
What other parameters mean in below output?
I didn't find any related documentation at libvirt.org.
Could you help me to describe me or refer to some description what below
schedinfo options mean? Thanks.

These are the minimum and maximum values that were accepted by the
kernel at the time when this error message was implemented in libvirt.

Very interesting!
I did this configuration and I can see my core working just in 25%.
I would like to try the same with memory.....I am looking for that.
Thanks.

See the documentation in the kernel:

ux.git/tree/Documentation/scheduler/sched-bwc.txt
So with global_period being set to 100000, a value of 25000 would mean
that all the threads of the virtual machine would be limited to use at
