Hi there,

Hi,

I am struggling with qemu-kvm 100% CPU usage problem. When running redhat or centos 7.6 guest os on vm, the cpu usage is very low on vm(almost 100% idle when no tasks run), but on the host, qemu-kvm reports 100% cpu busy usage.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1829696 I opened the bug above, however it did not find some interest.

After searching some related bugs report, I suspect that it is due to the clock settings in vm's domain xml. My settings are as follows: <clock offset='utc'> <timer name='rtc' tickpolicy='catchup'/> <timer name='pit' tickpolicy='delay'/> <timer name='hpet' present='no'/> </clock> And details about the bug, please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1829696

I don't think it is related to clock settings at all.

It shows that only the version 7.6 of redhat or centos affected by this bug behavior. In my cluster, it is OK for versions from redhat or centos 6.8 to 7.5.

Any clue or suggestion?

Please see DanPB's response in comment#2; I agree with it. (Note that I've changed the bug component from 'openstack-nova' --> 'qemu') https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1829696/comments/2 -- /kashyap
