Message   LWN.net    All   [$] Using steal time to moderate CPU demands   August 28, 2026
 6:40 AM *  

Virtualization can increase CPU utilization by allowing a large number of
virtual CPUs to share a smaller number of physical CPUs.  The amount of CPU
time that is actually available does not change, though, so heavy activity
on too many virtual CPUs can lead to contention and significant performance
loss.  The steal governor
patch series from Shrikanth Hegde is an attempt to address that problem
with a mechanism that allows virtual machines to voluntarily reduce the
number of virtual CPUs they use when contention is high.
