[libvirt-users] What global_quota option mean? What's its logic?

[Volo M.]

Hi techs,

Could you please explain or refer me to documentation where I could find a
description of global_quota schedinfo option. Someone told me that it could
mean a cpu limitation in percents like:
global_quota   : 25000 (does it mean cpu limit % set to 25  ?)

Is it true?
What other parameters mean in below output?
I didn't find any related documentation at libvirt.org.
Could you help me to describe me or refer to some description what below
schedinfo options mean? Thanks.

[root at cpkvm ~]# virsh list

[1000, 18446744073709551]  - what this range mean?
