From f9bcf1e0e0145323ba2cf72ecad5264ff3883eb1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wanpeng Li Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2016 13:36:35 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] sched/cputime: Fix steal time accounting Commit: 57430218317 ("sched/cputime: Count actually elapsed irq & softirq time") ... didn't take steal time into consideration with passing the noirqtime kernel parameter. As Paolo pointed out before: | Why not? If idle=poll, for example, any time the guest is suspended (and | thus cannot poll) does count as stolen time. This patch fixes it by reducing steal time from idle time accounting when the noirqtime parameter is true. The average idle time drops from 56.8% to 54.75% for nohz idle kvm guest(noirqtime, idle=poll, four vCPUs running on one pCPU).
