CPULIMIT come back in kernel 2.6.32. When we see it in proxmox?

A week ago openvz added support of cpulimit to RHEL6 based kernel.

When we can see it in proxmox?

Guy's, please, if you can, make it as far as possible. Please. Because it is dumb situation now: iotop doesn't work on kernel < 2.6.20, and cpulimit doesn't work in kernel > 2.6.18. This tools are very important for hosting providers. Both. And both need to be used almost every day. But now we have to choose what we need more iotop or cpulimit. Please make us happy, add cpulimit to proxmox 2.6.32 kernel.

Unfortunately they do not commit those changes to the public git repository, so I am not sure if that will ever get into the debian kernel.

... is back in latest RHEL6-based kernel, 042test006.1, which has just been released.

It's only test kernel. Hope thay will add it after testing. If this will happen - please, don't hesitate - we very-very waiting for this feature in 2.6.32

the plan is to use a stable OpenVZ for 2.6.32, like we have it now in 2.6.18. So you should push the OpenVZ guys - and help testing their test releases.

they placed src rpm and patch: http://wiki.openvz.org/Download/kernel/rhel6/042test007.1#Source_RPM

Could you integrate it into your 2.6.32 kernel?

we wait till this kernel branch is stable, see above.

Proxmox 1.9
Released 13.09.2011:
Notes pve-kernel-2.6.32 (2.6.32-43) rebase on vzkernel-2.6.32-042stab036.1.src.rpm (new stable Openvz kernel branch)

Does this mean we have new kernel with CPULIMIT support?

Yes, I guess that should work now.
