[libvirt-users] Does lxc support cputune/vcpusched option

[Peter Steele]

I need a container that supports real time threads. According to the 
documentation, I can do something like this:

<domain type='lxc'>
   <name>test1</name>
   <uuid>e7446f55-3d59-4af0-90b2-d1498ac4370d</uuid>
...
   <vcpu placement='auto'>2</vcpu>
   <cputune>
     <vcpusched vcpus='0-1' scheduler='fifo' priority='1'/>
   </cputune>
...
</domain>

The document describes the vcpusched element as follows:

The optional |vcpusched| elements specifies the scheduler type (values 
|batch|, |idle|, |fifo|, |rr|) for particular vCPU/IOThread threads 
(based on |vcpus| and |iothreads|, leaving out |vcpus|/|iothreads| sets 
the default). Valid |vcpus| values start at 0 through one less than the 
number of vCPU's defined for the domain. Valid |iothreads| values are 
described in the |iothreadids| |description| 
<https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsIOThreadsAllocation>. If 
no |iothreadids| are defined, then libvirt numbers IOThreads from 1 to 
the number of |iothreads| available for the domain. For real-time 
schedulers (|fifo|, |rr|), priority must be specified as well (and is 
ignored for non-real-time ones). The value range for the priority 
depends on the host kernel (usually 1-99).

So I *think* my xml is correct for this, but it doesn't seem to work--I 
still can't create real time threads in my container. Am I missing 
another configuration step somewhere?
