Re: [PATCH v13 11/13] virt/steal_governor: Add control knobs for handling steal values

From: sashiko-bot@kernel.org
Date: 2026-09-09 14:06:47

These are the knobs to control the steal_governor.

interval_ms:
How often steal governor checks for steal time.
(Default: 1000 i.e 1 second)
This controls how fast steal governor driver reacts to changes to
the contention of physical CPUs.
Can be set between 100 to 100000. i.e. 100ms to 100seconds.
100ms is kept as minimum to ensure few meaningful steal values
accumulate even with HZ=100.

low_threshold:
lower threshold value in percentage * 100.
(Default: 200, i.e 2% steal is considered as low threshold)
This determines what values should be considered as nil/no steal values.
