...host’s perspective. I understand that qemu might do some I/O coalescing kind of work, but /proc/$pid/io reveals the actual IOs submitted to the host kernel. For example, through “ps” command, i get the following info of one of my VMs: (the pid of the VM process is 4438) qemu 4438 1 0 Jun24 ? 00:06:25 /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 ...

Hi, all. While monitoring KVM VMs’ disk utilisation using libvirt API “virDomainBlockStats", I find that the results acquired is not consistent with the value read from /proc/[vm_pid]/io(i only care about “rd_bytes" and “wr_bytes” fields). Since libvirt doesn’t support host level monitoring, i have to calculate the host’s disk utilisation by reading from the /proc/diskstats file.

VM traffic is already limited by a throughput limit, but there is no control over the maximum packet per second (PPS). In DDOS attack the major issue is rather PPS than throughput. With provider offering more bandwidth to VMs, it becames easy to coordinate a massive attack using VMs. Example: 100Mbits ~ 200kpps using 64B packets. This patch provides a new option to limit VMs maximum packets per
