Re: [Xen-devel] [RFC] Add static priority into credit scheduler

Hi Disheng and George,

Disheng, I'm glad to see your work.

I think that static priority is useful under some conditions.
But, as George said, I also think it is harder to configure properly.
And I'm anxious that it makes credits on non-RT vcpu meaningless.

I tested your patch in following environment.

  CPU: Intel Core2 Quad Q9450
  Chipset: Intel 82Q35
  VM: dom0 (4 vcpus), HVM (4 vcpus)
  Xen: c/s 19426
  HVM:
    RT priority (1)
    pass-through devcies
      PCI graphic board
      Integrated devices(audio, USB controller)
    playing video

With this configuration, HVM does not work well.
When HVM does not have RT priority, HVM works well.

I think we would need to consider the relationship between static priority and credit, handling of dom0 and driver domain, and so on.

Best regards,
Naoki Nishiguchi
