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
. 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?
