Description of problem: load CPU to maximum on the VM with attached CPU profile (limited by qos) never reaches the expected number. without CPU profile limitation, works correctly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhv-release-4.2.3-4-001.noarch

How reproducible: happens on some hosts.
host topology for example (could be found in compute-ge-he-2.qa.lab.tlv.redhat.com environment. host name alma05.qa.lab.tlv.redhat.com):

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create QOS=40% CPU (Data center/OQS/CPU tab)
2. Create profile with this QOS (Cluster/CPU profile)
3. Configure VM with total vCPUs=CPUs on host=8 (VM/System tab). Core per virtual socket=1, Thread per socket =1.
   Add created CPU profile to the VM
   Run the VM
4. Run load CPU on the VM (or by 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null' or by infinite while cycle)

Actual results: Never reaches the limit (not even close)

Expected results: CPU on the VM must reach 40 %.

Comment 1 Polina 2018-05-15 20:26:00 UTC
Hi Martin, here is some additional description with top screens of Host and VM for two situations - without cpu profile (to see that maximum load occurs as expected) and with cpu profile where we don't reach the expected load of 40%.
 
The script for load: fulload() { dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null | dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null | dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null | dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null | dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null | dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null | dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null | dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null& }; fulload;

load vm without CPU profile limitation - cpu reaches ~100% as expected(both host and vm):

dumpxml of vm with cpu profile limitation

VM stats from VDSM

I could not find the metadata section in the new dump either, but:

- I see the fields in VM stats (vcpuPeriod and vcpuQuota). Those clearly translate to 40%
- I also see those valued in the libvirt xml

  <cputune>
    <period>100000</period>
    <quota>40000</quota>
  </cputune>


So all the pieces did what they were supposed to and libvirt is configured to use the proper limits. The actual enforcing is out of our hands.
