Hmm, I suppose so. I think I accidentally said "param" because I originally wrote the patch series, the structure actually only contained one parameter. Then I thought I might as well do both at the same time, but didn't have to re-write this patch. :-)

Well, a "params" struct containing only one param for this particular scheduler is less weird than a "param" one containing several...

Re: [PATCH 10 of 10] xl: Implement sched-credit schedule parameter command-line interface

Quoted 10 lines

Add features to the sched-credit interface to allow querying and displaying scheduler parameters. New interface works as follows:

 <nothing>             : List all domain params and sched params from all pools
 -d [domid]            : List domain params for domain
 -d [domid] [params]   : Set domain params for domain
 -p [pool]             : list all domains and sched params for pool
 -s                    : List sched params for poolid 0
 -s [params]           : Set sched params for poolid 0
 -p [pool] -s          : List sched params for pool

-p [pool] -s [params] : Set sched params for pool
-p [pool] -d... : Illegal

This information should be in the xl manpage, rather than in the commit message and a code comment.

Formatting. It should be

(79 columns) or

This should be changed throughout I'm afraid.

What happens if the pool isn't using the credit scheduler ?

Ah, good point. I suppose it should just print the pool name.

What happens to output of domains when you use xl sched-credit and there is a pool that's not using the credit scheduler? It looks like it will stop at that point and quit processing. It seems like having it print the domain ID and "[not sched-credit]" or something like that would be better.

What would be *even* better is to unify these all somehow, so that xl would automatically detect the appropriate scheduler for the pool and behave accordingly. But that's a patch series for another time, I think.

I think what you have in the usage message, plus the manpage, is sufficient.

Sure. I just wasn't sure from the code that you'd considered this case. I'd be happy with an error message of some kind, and a zero exit status.

Ian.
