Re: [Xen-devel] Re: Accounting in Credit Scheduler



One more curiousity is how often a timer routine is called & how often 
scheduling code?  It may be configurable interval as well, but then whats default 
value.
I guess timer is called more frequently & call to scheduling routine is made 
less frquently and is called from timer itself.

Can I get pointer to some reference where I will get to know how exactly this 
mechanism works. May be digging through code will be expensive option so I want 
to avoid it for a moment.

Your best bet is to study the code. The scheduler code is fairly
readable. IIRC, the accounting code happens in two parts -- every
10ms, measurements are made, but only every 30ms the measurements are
used to update accounting information. Read xen/common/sched_credit.c
