Hi,
We are migrating our ifrastructure from kvm+libvirt hypervisors to
ovirt.
Everything is working fine but we're noticing that all the qemu-kvm
processes in the hypervisors take a lot of CPU.
Without further details of the workload this is hard tell. One
Reason I
can think of might be KSM [1]. Is it enabled on your cluster(s)?
What is
your mem over-commitment setting?
Note, IIRC the KSM policy is currently hard coded; it will start at
80%
host mem usage.

The typical example is an idle machine, running top from the machine
itself it reports cpu use percentages below 10% and loads (with 2
processors) of 0.0x. The process running that machine in the
hypervisor
rports cpu uses in the order of the 80-100%.
Should the values look like this? Why are the idle machines eating
up so
much CPU time?
Thank you.
Xavier

Hi, thank you for the answer.
I've been trying to work out some pattern and realized that the VMs
using that much cpu all are Redhat 5.x, the Readhat 6.x doesn't exhibit
this kind of high cpu use. (we run only redhat/centos 5.x/6.x on the
cluster)
What OS are the hosts running? In case of EL6, make sure you have
tuned-0.2.19-13.el6.noarch installed [1].
That's exactly the version we've in the hypervisors.
To further investigate please post Engine, VDSM, libvirt and kernel
versions from the hosts.

I'll take a look to the KSM config.
Cheers,
Xavier
Actually, this seems to be it. But I'm already at a newer kernel:
