RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
bonding two guests to same cpu,one guest steal time  not aroud 50%

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
host: 
#uname -r
2.6.32-252.el6.x86_64
# rpm -qa |grep qemu-kvm
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.265.el6.x86_64

guest:
#uname -r
2.6.32-251.el6.x86_64
# rpm -qa |grep qemu-kvm
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.246.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:
70%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot two guests with same cpu 
one guest: 
#taskset -c 1 /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -m 2G -smp 1 -cpu Penryn,+x2apic,-kvmclock -usbdevice tablet -drive file=/root/RHEL-Server-6.3-64-virtio.qcow2-newinstall4,format=qcow2,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0,werror=stop,rerror=stop,cache=none -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,drive=drive-ide0-0-0,id=ide0-0-0 -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,script=/etc/qemu-ifup -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,mac=00:10:20:2d:31:21,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4,id=net0 -boot order=cdn,once=n,menu=on -uuid 3290efd3-7c9e-44f9-b5f7-af0f3a1b3066 -rtc base=utc,clock=host,driftfix=slew -no-kvm-pit-reinjection  -monitor stdio -name rhel6.1 -spice port=1000,disable-ticketing -vga qxl -device virtio-balloon-pci,bus=pci.0,id=balloon0 -drive file=/root/RHEL6.3-20120313.2-Server-x86_64-DVD1.iso,if=none,media=cdrom,id=drive-ide0-1-0,readonly=on,format=raw -device ide-drive,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-1-0,id=ide0-1-0 -netdev tap,id=hostnet1,script=/etc/qemu-ifup -device rtl8139,netdev=hostnet1,mac=00:10:26:2d:39:25,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6,id=net1
another guest
#taskset -c 1 /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -m 2G -smp 1 -cpu Penryn,+x2apic -usbdevice tablet -drive file=/root/RHEL-Server-6.3-64-virtio.qcow2-newinstall2,format=qcow2,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0,werror=stop,rerror=stop,cache=none -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,drive=drive-ide0-0-0,id=ide0-0-0 -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,script=/etc/qemu-ifup -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,mac=00:10:20:2d:31:21,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4,id=net0 -boot order=cdn,once=n,menu=on -uuid 3290efd3-7c9e-44f9-b5f7-af0f3a1b3066 -rtc base=utc,clock=host,driftfix=slew -no-kvm-pit-reinjection  -monitor stdio -name rhel6.1 -spice port=2000,disable-ticketing -vga qxl -device virtio-balloon-pci,bus=pci.0,id=balloon0 -drive file=/root/RHEL6.3-20120313.2-Server-x86_64-DVD1.iso,if=none,media=cdrom,id=drive-ide0-1-0,readonly=on,format=raw -device ide-drive,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-1-0,id=ide0-1-0
2.Add 100% cpu load in both guest.

    e.g run following command in guest:

         for ((;;)); do x=1; done
3.run top on both guest 
  one guest steal time is aroud 50%,another is around 0%
4.run top on host 
 #top
....
 PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
 4271 root      20   0 2927m 724m 5200 S 51.5 10.0   1:19.73  qemu-kvm                                                   
 4297 root      20   0 2738m 704m 5184 S 48.2  9.8   1:33.61 qemu-kvm       
...
Actual results:
one guest steal time is aroud 50%,another is aroud 0%

Expected results:
when run top command ,both guest steal time shoud be around 50%
