So lets focus on the performance issue.
One workload where we have seen this is transactional workload that is
triggered by external network requests. So every external request
triggered a wakup of a guest and a wakeup of a process in the guest.
The end result was that KVM was 40% slower than z/VM (in terms of
transactions per second) while we had more idle time.
With smaller sched_migration_cost_ns (e.g. 100000) KVM was as fast
as z/VM.
So to me it looks like that the wakeup and reschedule to a free CPU
was just not fast enough. It might also depend where I/O interrupts
land. Not sure yet.
