+ Xen: Remove hard-coded scheduler weight
+
+
+ The libxl driver was accidentally hard-coding the per-domain
+ scheduler weight to 1000, silently ignoring any user-provided
+ <shares>
in <cputune>
. The
+ driver now honors <shares>
, and defers setting
+ a default value to Xen. Note that the Xen default is 256, so any
+ domains started after this improvement will have one fourth the
+ shares of previously started domains. If all domains must have
+ equal CPU shares, administrators must manually set the weight of
+ previously started domains to 256, or restart them.
