Faeture Request - virtualize the load average for container

LXD
1

hi,

The load average is calculated by using the process and thread number in the system.

It can be “virtualized” as we have the container number by using the process/threads numbers from the cgroup instead of the complete process/thread numbers.

the call is loadavg_proc_show in ./fs/proc/loadavg.c and weshould be able to switch nr_proc by the cgroup.procs number and nr_thread by cgroups.threads of the container to have a load average that is containerized.

Could be usefull !

seems there is an option in lxcfs that is not in lxd for this.

snap set lxd lxcfs.loadavg=true && systemctl restart snap.lxd.daemon

regards,
Ghislain.
