Vineet,
Have you guys been able to make progress on the issues with I/O intensive workload?
Can you explain a bit further what the problem is?
Is the VM doing lots of I/O, causing frequent VMEXITs?
And the the host thread doing the I/O cannot run along side with vcpu
thread, resulting in extra forced idle? So you are trying not to put vcpu
on the same core with such host thread?
Tim
