KVM doesn't do any power management of guests. But if everything is idle on the host (including your guest), then host power management could kick in. Have you tried playing with host pm? Could you try running your workload with the guest kernel parameter "idle=poll" and let me know the performance? Also, if you are running Linux 4.0 or later on the host, could you try running your workload with the KVM module parameter "halt_poll_ns=500000"? > > Best, Hansa > > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in > the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
